Integrity Fire Glass (E & EW): an overview for County Antrim
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.
- Modified toughened integrity glass
- EW laminated glass with radiation control
- Impact-classified integrity options
What to check before ordering in County Antrim
Not insulating
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
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.
Cost advantage
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
