What's involved with fire-resistant glass in Omagh
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
- Integrity with radiation control (EW) laminated glass
- Integrity (E) glass: modified toughened, glass-ceramic and polished wired types
- Insulating (EI) intumescent-interlayer and gel-filled glass

Before you order fire-resistant glass: what matters
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.
Which classification do you actually need?
The fire strategy or building control drawings set the rating for each element. Integrity-only glass is cheaper and thinner, but its use on escape routes is restricted; insulating glass carries far fewer restrictions because people can pass it safely during a fire.
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.

FAQs for Omagh
How thick is fire-resistant glass?
Integrity glass can be similar in thickness to standard glass. Insulating glass is laminated from several layers, so it gets markedly thicker and heavier as the rating increases from EI 30 to EI 120.
Can you match glass that is already installed?
Often, yes. We read the marks on the existing panes and check them against the frame evidence. Where the original product is discontinued we look for an alternative covered by the same evidence or a formal assessment.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Omagh?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How quickly can you survey in Omagh?
Survey timing in Omagh depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
