Office glass partitions where the wall has to be fire-resisting.
Learn more →For Welwyn Garden City buildings, we supply, replace and check frameless fire-rated glazing wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

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.
Whether the building is in central Welwyn Garden City or the wider AL8, AL7, AL6, AL10 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Hatfield, Hertford, St Albans. Watford, around 21 km from Welwyn Garden City, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
True frameless fire doors are rare; most frameless walls use a slim framed door within the run. We show you the options on drawings.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Welwyn Garden City budgets are not open-ended.
If an existing frame in a Welwyn Garden City building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
