Nearly frameless, Fire Rated Doors are suitable for use as an internal fire rated door creating an exceptionally modern, frameless appearance to traditionally cumbersome elements of design.
Fire-rated glazed doors from IQ Glass are a new generation of glazed fire doors for up to 60 minutes insulation and 60 minutes integrity fire protection in a frameless, neat design.
Detailing is minimal, with flush head and floor details when the doors are open. This fire-rated glass door is pivoted at the head and base using specialist steel pivots that have the option electromagnetic hold open springs for automatic closing in the event of a fire.
A small back painted band around each opening door is the only profile that you will see which creates a neat external edge, hiding the edge of the intumescent seal of the fire rated glass.
The innovative and versatile fixing detail, using graphite strips connecting internal fire doors with glass to any surrounding structure, means the door can be fixed into fire rated wall constructions without any chunky surrounding frame for an almost frameless fire rated door. Where installed into a run of fire rated structural glass a slim frame of fire rated steel or timber can be used.
Door sets can be designed as a single or double pivoting fire rated door in sizes up to 2.65m high (see specification information for maximum sizes depending on your fire rating). Handle choice is varied with the metal pull handles bonded to the surface of the glass for a neat connection detail.
Our Fire Rated Glass Doors have been crafted with safety first but with that added element of style and sophistication. Designed to blend seamlessly, our internal fire doors with glass are not just an essential safety feature but a visual enhancement to your space. Enjoy peace of mind without compromising on style, as our doors provide superior fire protection.
Even though this certified fire rated door is frameless, the thin black perimeter to each door leaf makes it a great solution to create steel look fire rated doors.
Certified internal fire doors with glass with a true steel frame often result in a large frame size. When used on internal applications this is not normally the design that is wanted by the designer or client.
By using a specialised ceramic frit technique, we can apply a glazing bar design onto the surface of the fire rated door. This then creates the appearance of a steel framed door without large frame profiles needed.
The glazing bar designs are bespoke and applied to your specification. In order to provide a quotation for this style of door we just need to know the fire rating needed, glazing bar design wanted and the door size/configuration.
There are multiple fire rated glass installations on display at the newly renovated IQ Showroom, including an almost frameless fire rated glass door.
Being the UK's largest glazing showroom, the IQ Showroom has a number of bespoke glazing solutions for clients to see in real-life situations. Fire rated glazing is a complex type of glazing that need careful consideration down to the transportation of the glazing.
Seeing the solutions up close and discussing options with a technical sales advisor in person can help to ensure the right system for your project is specified.

Door Configurations
Glass Specification
These nearly frameless fire-rated doors are made with specialist fire rated glass which allows both the single and double glass door to achieve a fire rating of 30/30 or 60/60 as required.
Fire Rated Glass is made with multiple layers of toughened glass layered with fire-rated intumescent seals that react under the heat of a fire to create a fire-resistant barrier.
The thickness of the fire-rated glass is between 20-27mm for a single door and 20-28mm in a double door configuration.

These almost frameless glass doors have a pivoting action controlled by a floor spring box. This pivot box can be specified with an electromagnetic hold open or a non-hold open action.
The handles are structurally bonded to the face of the glass for a clean fixing detail that doesn’t alter the fire rating of the glass doors. There are 3 basic handle designs but if you would prefer a bespoke solution it may be possible.
