Fire-Resistant Glass in Bracknell: what's included

We supply and fit fire-resistant glass into new and existing fire-rated frames, matching the glass type, thickness, beads, seals and fixings to the test or assessment evidence for that frame. The glass on its own does not carry a rating; the combination does, so we start every job by identifying the system you have or need.

  • Intumescent glazing seals, tapes and gaskets to the tested specification
  • Impact-classified build-ups for critical locations
  • Insulating (EI) intumescent-interlayer and gel-filled glass
  • Glazing beads and fixings to the frame manufacturer's details

What every Bracknell quote includes

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Every quote in Bracknell identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.

Fixed written quotes

After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Bracknell budgets are not open-ended.

Evidence you can file

You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.

Before you order fire-resistant glass: what matters

Weight and handling

Insulating fire glass gets thicker and heavier as the rating rises. Large EI 60 and EI 120 panes often need lifting equipment and a frame designed for the load, which we plan before the delivery date.

Impact safety still applies

Glass in doors, side panels and low-level positions has to meet impact safety rules as well as the fire rating. Most modern fire glass carries an impact classification; old wired glass usually does not.

Marking and records

Most fire glass is permanently marked with its product and classification. We record the marks, pane sizes and evidence references on handover so whoever is responsible for fire safety can show what is installed.

Where we work around Bracknell

Fire glazing rules in England

England Which rules apply?

Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.

Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.

Fire-Resistant Glass: Bracknell questions

Is toughened glass fire-resistant?

Ordinary toughened safety glass is not. It can shatter early in a fire. Fire-resistant integrity glass is specially processed or formulated and only gains a rating when fitted in a tested frame and glazing system.

What is the difference between E, EW and EI fire glass?

E is integrity only: it stops flames and hot gases passing for the rated time. EW adds a limit on radiated heat through the glass. EI adds insulation, keeping the unexposed face below set temperature rises so people can pass it safely. The number after the letters is the time in minutes.

Do you carry out fire-resistant glass in Bracknell?

Yes. We survey and install in Bracknell and across Berkshire, including the RG12 district and nearby Crowthorne.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Bracknell?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
