Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Solihull, including the B91, B90, B92, B27, B28, B93 districts, and in nearby Shirley, Acocks Green, Birmingham. Solihull is about 11 km from Birmingham, the largest town in our West Midlands coverage.
True frameless fire doors are rare; most frameless walls use a slim framed door within the run. We show you the options on drawings.
The sealant, joint width and any interlayer in the joint come from the test. Generic silicone in a fire glass joint is not acceptable.
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
