Fire-Resistant Glass in Ashford (Surrey): what's included

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

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.

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.

Fire-Resistant Glass: Ashford (Surrey) questions

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.

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 work on occupied buildings in Ashford (Surrey)?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

Can you price fire-resistant glass in Ashford (Surrey) 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.
