What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Chichester
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.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
Which rules apply to frameless fire-rated glazing in Chichester?
England Which rules apply?
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.

Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing: Chichester questions
Is frameless fire-rated glass possible?
Yes, using tested butt-jointed systems, usually with insulating glass. It must be installed exactly to the tested details.
How tall can frameless fire glass go?
Each system states a maximum height. We check your floor-to-ceiling height against it during design.
How quickly can you survey in Chichester?
Survey timing in Chichester depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Chichester?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
