Fire-Resistant Glass in Woodford Green: 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
  • Integrity with radiation control (EW) laminated glass
  • Integrity (E) glass: modified toughened, glass-ceramic and polished wired types
  • Glazing beads and fixings to the frame manufacturer's details

Key checks for Woodford Green projects

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.

Inside or outside?

Many insulating fire glasses use interlayers that need protecting from UV and moisture, so external positions need a product approved for exterior use, with the right edge seal and glazing system.

Questions about fire-resistant glass in Woodford Green

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.

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.

Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Woodford Green?

Building work in Woodford Green follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Can you price fire-resistant glass in Woodford Green from photos?

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.
