What our fire-resistant glass service includes in Skelmersdale

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.

  • Insulating (EI) intumescent-interlayer and gel-filled glass
  • Impact-classified build-ups for critical locations
  • Integrity (E) glass: modified toughened, glass-ceramic and polished wired types
  • Intumescent glazing seals, tapes and gaskets to the tested specification

Before you order fire-resistant glass: what matters

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.

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.

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 Skelmersdale

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.

Can you price fire-resistant glass in Skelmersdale 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 Skelmersdale?

Yes. We survey and install in Skelmersdale and across Lancashire, including the WN8 district and nearby Ormskirk.
