What's involved with frameless fire-rated glazing in Cwmbran

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
  • Manifestation design
  • Frameless-look fire doors where tested
  • Rated sealant joints

What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Cwmbran

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.

Protection on site

Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.

Deflection

Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.

How we work in Cwmbran

Honest about unknowns

If an existing frame in a Cwmbran building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Work around occupied buildings

We can phase work in Cwmbran around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.

Wales regulations that shape the job

Wales Which rules apply?

Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
