Frameless Fire Resisting Glazing

Our client wanted to allow natural light into the lower
ground floor dining room through a void on the ground
floor. To comply with fire regulations, and the
requirements of Part K of the Building Regulations, our
Pyrovista butt joint glazed screen has been installed as
part of the extensive works.
This extensive refurbishment was carried out in 2009. The discerning client wanted to create two living spaces to the front of the property as well as creating more scope to the lower ground floor.
On entering the building the room to the left enjoys a void within the floor slab looking down into the lower ground floor. The external windows therefore provide natural daylight into the void. To ensure
that the fire regulations were complied with a separation
between the ground and lower ground floors had to be
provided. Our Pyrovista screen was specified to provide 30 minutes integrity. To provide maximum light and a sense of openness special butt joint seals were used between the 3 glass panes which were nearly 3 metres in height.
The screen was glazed with 12mm thick clear fire
resisting-safety glass using Pyroglaze seals."
