What's involved with fire-resistant glass in Thetford

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 (E) glass: modified toughened, glass-ceramic and polished wired types
  • Glazing beads and fixings to the frame manufacturer's details
  • Insulating (EI) intumescent-interlayer and gel-filled glass
  • Integrity with radiation control (EW) laminated glass

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.

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.

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.

Fire-Resistant Glass: Thetford questions

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.

What is the difference between E, EW and EI fire glass?

E is integrity only: it stops flames and hot gases passing for the rated time. EW adds a limit on radiated heat through the glass. EI adds insulation, keeping the unexposed face below set temperature rises so people can pass it safely. The number after the letters is the time in minutes.

Do you carry out fire-resistant glass in Thetford?

Yes. We survey and install in Thetford and across Norfolk, including the IP24 district and nearby Bury St Edmunds.

Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Thetford?

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