What's involved with frameless fire-rated glazing in Birmingham
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.
- Rated sealant joints
- Manifestation design
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
