What our fire-resistant glass service includes in East Grinstead

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

What to check before ordering fire-resistant glass in East Grinstead

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.

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.

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.

FAQs for East Grinstead

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.

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.

Do you work on occupied buildings in East Grinstead?

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 East Grinstead 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.
