Fire-Resistant Glass in Arbroath: 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.
- Impact-classified build-ups for critical locations
- Glazing beads and fixings to the frame manufacturer's details
- Intumescent glazing seals, tapes and gaskets to the tested specification
- Integrity (E) glass: modified toughened, glass-ceramic and polished wired types
Key checks for Arbroath projects
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.
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.
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.

Scotland Which rules apply?

Fire-Resistant Glass: Arbroath 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.
How quickly can you survey in Arbroath?
Survey timing in Arbroath depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Do you carry out fire-resistant glass in Arbroath?
