Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing in Washington: what's included
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.
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
- Handover evidence
- Rated sealant joints
- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Washington
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.
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
