Fire-Resistant Glass
Integrity and insulating fire glass supplied and fitted into tested frames.
Learn more →From the PR25 district outwards, we arrange insulated fire glass for buildings across Leyland, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

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.
EI testing limits the average temperature rise on the unexposed face to 140°C and any single point to 180°C, which is why people can pass it.
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
Whether the building is in central Leyland or the wider PR25, PR26, PR5 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Chorley, Preston, Blackburn. Preston, around 7 km from Leyland, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Every quote in Leyland identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a Leyland building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
Insulated fire glass applies to many building types in Leyland, including public buildings and offices.
Yes, in normal conditions. It turns opaque only when heated in a fire.
It is a multi-layer product with specialist interlayers, and the frame and installation must suit its weight.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
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.
