What our fire-resistant glass service includes in Cramlington
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
- Integrity with radiation control (EW) laminated glass
- Glazing beads and fixings to the frame manufacturer's details
- Insulating (EI) intumescent-interlayer and gel-filled glass
What to check before ordering fire-resistant glass in Cramlington
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.
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.
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.

Fire-Resistant Glass: Cramlington questions
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.
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 Cramlington?
Yes. We survey and install in Cramlington and across Northumberland, including the NE23 district and nearby Blyth.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Cramlington?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
