Insulated Fire Glass (EI)
EI 30 to EI 120 glass that blocks heat as well as flames.
Learn more →For Newry buildings, we supply, replace and check fire-rated glass floors wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

A fire-rated glass floor is a walk-on glazed floor panel, set in a tested support frame, that keeps both its load-bearing capacity and its fire resistance for a stated time. Because a floor carries load, its classification also includes R for load-bearing capacity alongside integrity and insulation.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Newry, including the BT34 districts, and in nearby Portadown, Craigavon, Lisburn. Bangor, around 69 km from Newry, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
A glass floor must carry its design load during the fire period. Only systems tested for both should be used.
Obscured or patterned surfaces can be specified within the system for privacy below.
Walk-on glass needs an anti-slip finish; it must be one covered by the system.
In Northern Ireland, building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with fire safety guidance in Technical Booklet E, approved by the district council's building control.
Once in use, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require the appropriate person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing.
If an existing frame in a Newry building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in Northern Ireland, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
We can survey and quote for offices, schools and colleges and other building types in Newry.
Yes, using specialist tested systems that cover load-bearing capacity as well as integrity and insulation.
Yes, with clear glass and an anti-slip finish, or obscured if privacy is needed.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
