What's involved with frameless fire-rated glazing in Huyton

- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
- Handover evidence
- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
Key checks for Huyton projects
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.
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
