Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing: what you get in Gloucestershire
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

Key checks for Gloucestershire projects
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
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.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
