What our frameless fire-rated glazing service includes in Stockport
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.
- Handover evidence
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
- Manifestation design
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
Key checks for Stockport projects
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.
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
