What our frameless fire-rated glazing service includes in Worcestershire
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.

- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
- Rated sealant joints
Before you order in Worcestershire
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
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.
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.

England rules for fire glazing
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.
Questions from Worcestershire clients
Is frameless more expensive than framed?
Yes, typically. It also needs more careful site protection.
Can a frameless fire wall include a door?
Usually through a slim framed door set into the run, chosen so the combination is covered by evidence.
How tall can frameless fire glass go?
Each system states a maximum height. We check your floor-to-ceiling height against it during design.
Do you cover all of Worcestershire?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Worcestershire, including Worcester and Redditch, Kidderminster, Great Malvern, Bromsgrove, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
