Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing in Speke: what's included
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.
- Handover evidence
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
- Rated sealant joints
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
How we work in Speke
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Speke building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Speke identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Speke
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
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.

Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing: Speke questions
Is frameless more expensive than framed?
Yes, typically. It also needs more careful site protection.
How tall can frameless fire glass go?
Each system states a maximum height. We check your floor-to-ceiling height against it during design.
How quickly can you survey in Speke?
Survey timing in Speke 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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Speke?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
