Fire-Resistant Glass
Integrity and insulating fire glass supplied and fitted into tested frames.

Insulated fire glass, classified EI, is glazing that maintains integrity and keeps the temperature rise on the non-fire side within set limits for the rated time. It is usually made of several glass panes bonded with interlayers that foam into an insulating barrier when heated, or with a clear gel that absorbs heat.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Yateley, including the GU46, GU47, RG45, GU17, RG40 districts, and in nearby Sandhurst, Crowthorne, Camberley. Yateley is about 63 km from Southampton, the largest town in our Hampshire coverage.
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
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.
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Yateley budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in Yateley identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a Yateley building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can survey and quote for hotels, retail and leisure units and other building types in Yateley.
Yes, in normal conditions. It turns opaque only when heated in a fire.
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.
Survey timing in Yateley 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.
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.
