Fire-Resistant Glass
Integrity and insulating fire glass supplied and fitted into tested frames.
Learn more →Integrity fire glass in Portadown 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.

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.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Portadown budgets are not open-ended.
If an existing frame in a Portadown building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can phase work in Portadown around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
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.
EW glass limits radiation to 15 kW/m² measured one metre from the glass, reducing the risk of igniting materials or harming people nearby.
Whether the building is in central Portadown or the wider BT62, BT63, BT64, BT65 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Craigavon, Newry, Lisburn. Portadown is about 5 km from Craigavon, the largest town in our County Armagh coverage.
In Northern Ireland, building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with fire safety guidance in Technical Booklet E, approved by the district council's building control.
Once in use, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require the appropriate person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing.
Technical Booklet E sets its own provisions for glazing on escape routes, so designs are checked against the Northern Ireland guidance rather than English documents.
We can survey and quote for public buildings, industrial units and other building types in Portadown.
Yes, considerably, and it is thinner and lighter.
Glass that stops flames and hot gases for the rated time but lets heat through. It is classified E.
Yes. We survey and install in Portadown and across County Armagh, including the BT62 district and nearby Craigavon.
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.
