Integrity Fire Glass (E & EW) across March

What our integrity fire glass service includes in March
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.
- Polished wired glass where still appropriate
- Modified toughened integrity glass
- Matched beads and seals
- Impact-classified integrity options
How we work in March
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so March budgets are not open-ended.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a March building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in March identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
What to check before ordering integrity fire glass in March
Cost advantage
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
Limits on escape routes
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.
Where integrity glass fits
Integrity-only glass may be acceptable in some fire-resisting partitions, screens and doors, often at high level, within the limits national guidance sets. Compartment walls normally need insulating (EI) glazing.
Areas we cover around March

Fire glazing rules in England
England Which rules apply?
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.
Building types we cover in March
We can survey and quote for industrial units, public buildings and other building types in March.
Questions about integrity fire glass in March
What is integrity-only fire glass?
Glass that stops flames and hot gases for the rated time but lets heat through. It is classified E.
What is the difference between E and EW glass?
EW glass also limits heat radiation through the glass, which reduces the risk to people and materials near it.
How quickly can you survey in March?
Survey timing in March 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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in March?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
