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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Wimbledon budgets are not open-ended.
We can phase work in Wimbledon around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
The sealant, joint width and any interlayer in the joint come from the test. Generic silicone in a fire glass joint is not acceptable.
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
Coverage around Wimbledon includes the SW19, SW20, SW18, SM4, SW17, SW15 districts and nearby Morden, Mitcham, Putney. Wimbledon is one of the Greater London districts we cover.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
We can survey and quote for schools and colleges, hotels and other building types in Wimbledon.
Yes, typically. It also needs more careful site protection.
Each system states a maximum height. We check your floor-to-ceiling height against it during design.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
