Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing in Felixstowe: 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.
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
- Manifestation design
- Handover evidence
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
What you can expect in Felixstowe
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Felixstowe budgets are not open-ended.
Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
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.
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.
