Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing: what you get in Leicestershire

Before you order in Leicestershire
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.
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.
