Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
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.
