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

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 Trowbridge identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Trowbridge budgets are not open-ended.
If an existing frame in a Trowbridge building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
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.
Coverage around Trowbridge includes the BA14 districts and nearby Bath, Frome, Chippenham. Swindon, around 40 km from Trowbridge, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
