What's involved with frameless fire-rated glazing in Hamilton
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.
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
- Handover evidence
- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Hamilton
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
Fire glazing rules in Scotland
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.
