Fire-Resistant Glass in Craigavon: 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.

  • Glazing beads and fixings to the frame manufacturer's details
  • Intumescent glazing seals, tapes and gaskets to the tested specification
  • Integrity with radiation control (EW) laminated glass
  • Integrity (E) glass: modified toughened, glass-ceramic and polished wired types

Key checks for Craigavon projects

Can any fire glass go in any fire-rated frame?

No. A frame is only rated with the glass types and pane sizes it was tested or assessed with. We check the frame's evidence before quoting, and if the existing frame is unknown we say so and price the options.

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.

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.

Fire glazing rules in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland Which rules apply?

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.

Technical Booklet E sets its own provisions for glazing on escape routes, so designs are checked against the Northern Ireland guidance rather than English documents.

Fire-Resistant Glass: Craigavon questions

Do you supply fire glass only?

Our service is supply and installation, because the rating depends on how the glass is fitted. For trade buyers we can quote supply of cut-to-size panes with the matching glazing materials on request.

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.

Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Craigavon?

Craigavon is in Northern Ireland, where the Building Regulations (NI) 2012 and Technical Booklet E apply, with the Fire Safety Regulations (NI) 2010 covering occupied premises.

Do you carry out fire-resistant glass in Craigavon?

Yes. We survey and install in Craigavon and across County Armagh, including the BT62 district and nearby Portadown.
