What our frameless fire-rated glazing service includes in Taunton
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.
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
- Manifestation design
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
What every Taunton quote includes
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Taunton building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Taunton around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Taunton budgets are not open-ended.
Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
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.
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
