What our integrity fire glass service includes in Dunstable
Integrity fire glass, classified E, stops flames and hot gases passing for the rated time but does not limit the heat coming through. EW glass adds a cap on the heat radiated through the glass. Both are thinner, lighter and cheaper than fully insulated glass.
- Glass-ceramic and borosilicate integrity glass
- Matched beads and seals

Not insulating
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
