EI glass is the choice where people need to pass close to the glass during a fire, where combustible materials sit near it, or where building guidance would otherwise restrict glazing. We supply and fit EI 30 to EI 120 glass in tested frames, internally and externally.
Every quote in Ammanford identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a Ammanford building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in Wales, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Each step up in rating adds layers, so EI 120 is far thicker and heavier than EI 30. The frame has to be designed for it.
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Ammanford, including the SA18 districts, and in nearby Gorseinon, Llanelli, Neath. Ammanford lies roughly 17 km from Llanelli, within our Dyfed coverage.
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.
Sector guides below cover care homes, blocks of flats and other buildings in Ammanford.
The glazing system kept fire on one side (integrity) and limited the temperature rise on the other side (insulation) for at least 60 minutes in a standard fire test.
It is a multi-layer product with specialist interlayers, and the frame and installation must suit its weight.
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.
Ammanford is in Wales, where the Welsh Approved Document B applies to building work and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers occupied premises.
