Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing in Richmond: what's included
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.
- Manifestation design
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
- Rated sealant joints
- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Richmond
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.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
