What our frameless fire-rated glazing service includes in Rutland
Frameless fire glazing only works within tight, tested limits: specific glass types, joint widths, sealants, channel details and maximum heights. We specify it where the evidence supports your layout, and tell you plainly when a slim framed system is the better route.
- Handover evidence
- Rated sealant joints
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
What to check before ordering in Rutland
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.
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
Regulations for Rutland projects
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.
