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.
Coverage around Coventry includes the CV1, CV3, CV6, CV2, CV5 districts and nearby Kenilworth, Bedworth, Nuneaton. Coventry is about 28 km from Birmingham, the largest town in our West Midlands coverage.
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
The sealant, joint width and any interlayer in the joint come from the test. Generic silicone in a fire glass joint is not acceptable.
True frameless fire doors are rare; most frameless walls use a slim framed door within the run. We show you the options on drawings.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
