Fire-Resistant Glass
Integrity and insulating fire glass supplied and fitted into tested frames.
Learn more →Integrity fire glass in Crowthorne is usually needed for one of three reasons: new building work, a change to an existing fire-resisting wall, or defects found in an inspection. We handle all three.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
We supply and fit integrity glass in screens, doors, vision panels and windows where the fire strategy allows it, and upgrade to EW or EI where it does not. Choosing correctly between E, EW and EI is where most of the cost on a project is decided.
Every quote in Crowthorne 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 Crowthorne budgets are not open-ended.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired glass.
Building guidance restricts how much integrity-only glass can be used on protected escape routes and where it can sit. Check the route before choosing E glass.
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.

EW glass also limits heat radiation through the glass, which reduces the risk to people and materials near it.
In limited amounts and positions. Building guidance sets the rules; insulating glass is used where those limits are exceeded.
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.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
