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

Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
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.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Lincoln budgets are not open-ended.
If an existing frame in a Lincoln building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Every quote in Lincoln identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
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.
We cover Lincoln and the surrounding postcode districts, including LN2. Nearby towns we also serve include Gainsborough, Newark-on-Trent, Retford. Lincoln is the main town we cover in Lincolnshire.
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.
Insulated fire glass applies to many building types in Lincoln, including public buildings and care homes.

Survey timing in Lincoln 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.
