- Manifestation design
- Rated sealant joints
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
How we work in Pontefract

What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Pontefract
Doors
True frameless fire doors are rare; most frameless walls use a slim framed door within the run. We show you the options on drawings.
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
