What's involved with frameless fire-rated glazing in Kingswood
Frameless fire-rated glazing is a glass wall where panes meet edge to edge with a tested sealant joint instead of vertical frames, held in discreet head and base channels. It gives an almost uninterrupted view while still being tested to resist fire.
- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
- Rated sealant joints
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details

Key checks for Kingswood 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.
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
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.
