What our frameless fire-rated glazing service includes in Westminster
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.
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
- Rated sealant joints
- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
- Manifestation design
Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
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.
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
