What's involved with fire-resistant glass in Basingstoke
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.
- Integrity with radiation control (EW) laminated glass
- Integrity (E) glass: modified toughened, glass-ceramic and polished wired types
- Impact-classified build-ups for critical locations
- Insulating (EI) intumescent-interlayer and gel-filled glass
What to check before ordering fire-resistant glass in Basingstoke
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.
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.
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.

Questions about fire-resistant glass in Basingstoke
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.
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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Basingstoke?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Basingstoke?
Building work in Basingstoke follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
