What's involved with frameless fire-rated glazing in Gainsborough
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.
- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
- Rated sealant joints
- Manifestation design
Key checks for Gainsborough projects
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.
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
