Every quote in Folkestone identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.

Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
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.
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
