Glazing Gasket Installation Guide

 

Installaton of Intumescent Glazing Gasket

All surfaces should be clean, dry, frost free and free from oil, grease and other contamination.

Normal glazing techniques should be employed when glazing internal fire screens, with particular attention being paid to the type and location of setting blocks to ensure glass does not drop in the event of a fire, giving passage for smoke etc.

Any beads should be bedded on Intuchem Intumescent Mastic which should also be applied between the edge of the glass and the base of the rebate.

Apply the Glazing Gasket from the roll to clean, dry and dust free substrates and rest the glass into the channel: mitre at corners by cutting the channel with a sharp knife or scissors.


The bead should then be secured in place, with screws, as per the fire door manufacturers instructions.

Best applied at temperatures above 4°C. If required, glazing blocks to be used following the requirements of BS6262.
