What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Bicester
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
Which rules apply to frameless fire-rated glazing in Bicester?
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
