Before you order fire glass replacement: what matters
Read the marks
Most fire glass is etched or printed with its product name and classification. A photo of the mark speeds up quoting.
Make it safe first
A broken pane can be a cut hazard and a gap in compartmentation. We can make it safe on the first visit while the replacement is cut.
Discontinued products
When the original glass is no longer available, the replacement must be covered by the frame's evidence or an assessment.

Which rules apply to fire glass replacement in Cumbernauld?
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.
