What our fire-resistant glass service includes in Castleford

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
  • Integrity with radiation control (EW) laminated glass
  • Integrity (E) glass: modified toughened, glass-ceramic and polished wired types
  • Insulating (EI) intumescent-interlayer and gel-filled 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.

Where we work around Castleford

Whether the building is in central Castleford or the wider WF10, WF6 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Pontefract, Wakefield, Leeds. Castleford lies roughly 14 km from Leeds, within our West Yorkshire coverage.

FAQs for Castleford

Can you match glass that is already installed?

Often, yes. We read the marks on the existing panes and check them against the frame evidence. Where the original product is discontinued we look for an alternative covered by the same evidence or a formal assessment.

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.

Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Castleford?

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

How quickly can you survey in Castleford?

Survey timing in Castleford 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.
