What our fire-resistant glass service includes in Hythe
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
- Integrity with radiation control (EW) laminated glass
- Integrity (E) glass: modified toughened, glass-ceramic and polished wired types
What every Hythe quote includes
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Hythe around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Hythe building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
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.
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.

FAQs for Hythe
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.
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.
Can you price fire-resistant glass in Hythe 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.
Do you carry out fire-resistant glass in Hythe?
Yes. We survey and install in Hythe and across Hampshire, including the SO45 district and nearby Southampton.
