What's involved with frameless fire-rated glazing in Motherwell
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.

Key checks for Motherwell projects
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.
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
Scotland regulations that shape the job
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.

Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing: Motherwell questions
How tall can frameless fire glass go?
Each system states a maximum height. We check your floor-to-ceiling height against it during design.
Is frameless fire-rated glass possible?
Yes, using tested butt-jointed systems, usually with insulating glass. It must be installed exactly to the tested details.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Motherwell?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How quickly can you survey in Motherwell?
Survey timing in Motherwell depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
