Fire-Resistant Glass in Kidderminster: what's included

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.

  • Integrity (E) glass: modified toughened, glass-ceramic and polished wired types
  • 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

What to check before ordering fire-resistant glass in Kidderminster

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.

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.

FAQs for Kidderminster

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 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.

How quickly can you survey in Kidderminster?

Survey timing in Kidderminster 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 Kidderminster?
