Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
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.
