Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing in Maidstone: what's included

Frameless fire glazing only works within tight, tested limits: specific glass types, joint widths, sealants, channel details and maximum heights. We specify it where the evidence supports your layout, and tell you plainly when a slim framed system is the better route.

  • Head, base and wall channels to the system details
  • Handover evidence
  • Frameless-look fire doors where tested
  • Rated sealant joints

Key checks for Maidstone projects

Deflection

Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.

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.
