Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
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.
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.
