Fire-Resistant Glass in Sevenoaks: what's included
Fire-resistant glass is glazing that has been tested, as part of a complete glazed system, to hold back fire for a set time. It is classified by what it stops: E (integrity) keeps flames and hot gases on the fire side, EW also limits the heat radiated through the glass, and EI (integrity and insulation) also limits the temperature rise on the protected side, so people can pass it more safely.
- Intumescent glazing seals, tapes and gaskets to the tested specification
- Insulating (EI) intumescent-interlayer and gel-filled glass
- Glazing beads and fixings to the frame manufacturer's details
- Integrity (E) glass: modified toughened, glass-ceramic and polished wired types

Key checks for Sevenoaks projects
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.
Impact safety still applies
Glass in doors, side panels and low-level positions has to meet impact safety rules as well as the fire rating. Most modern fire glass carries an impact classification; old wired glass usually does not.
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 Sevenoaks
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 carry out fire-resistant glass in Sevenoaks?
Yes. We survey and install in Sevenoaks and across Kent, including the TN13 district and nearby Tonbridge.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Sevenoaks?
