Fire-Resistant Glass
Integrity and insulating fire glass supplied and fitted into tested frames.
Learn more →For Canary Wharf buildings, we supply, replace and check insulated fire glass wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every quote in Canary Wharf identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
We can phase work in Canary Wharf around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
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.
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Canary Wharf, including the E14, SE16, E3, E1W, E1, SE8 districts, and in nearby Bow, Canning Town, Greenwich. Canary Wharf sits within our Greater London coverage, alongside Bow.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
Sector guides below cover student accommodation, offices and other buildings in Canary Wharf.
It is a multi-layer product with specialist interlayers, and the frame and installation must suit its weight.
Only products approved for external use, usually in a sealed unit with UV protection.
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.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
