Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters

Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
