Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing in Dunfermline: what's included
Frameless fire glazing only works within tight, tested limits: specific glass types, joint widths, sealants, channel details and maximum heights. We specify it where the evidence supports your layout, and tell you plainly when a slim framed system is the better route.
- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
- Rated sealant joints
- Handover evidence
Key checks for Dunfermline projects
Doors
True frameless fire doors are rare; most frameless walls use a slim framed door within the run. We show you the options on drawings.
The joint is part of the test
The sealant, joint width and any interlayer in the joint come from the test. Generic silicone in a fire glass joint is not acceptable.
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.

What every Dunfermline quote includes
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Dunfermline building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Dunfermline identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Dunfermline around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Scotland regulations that shape the job
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.

Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing: Dunfermline questions
Is frameless more expensive than framed?
Yes, typically. It also needs more careful site protection.
Can a frameless fire wall include a door?
Usually through a slim framed door set into the run, chosen so the combination is covered by evidence.
Do you carry out frameless fire-rated glazing in Dunfermline?
Yes. We survey and install in Dunfermline and across Fife, including the KY12 district and nearby Livingston.
How quickly can you survey in Dunfermline?
Survey timing in Dunfermline depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
