Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing in South Shields: what's included

- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
- Manifestation design
Key checks for South Shields projects
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.
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
