What our frameless fire-rated glazing service includes in Watford

- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
- Rated sealant joints

What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Watford
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
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.
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
