What fire-rated glazing do Rickmansworth buildings need?
Fire glazing work generally falls into three groups: replacing glass in existing fire-rated frames, installing new glazed screens and doors, and fixing defects from inspections. We cover all three in Rickmansworth.
Each job starts with the classification the building's fire strategy requires: integrity (E), integrity with radiation control (EW), or integrity and insulation (EI).
