What to check before ordering in County Durham
Not insulating
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
Cost advantage
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
What EW adds
EW glass limits radiation to 15 kW/m² measured one metre from the glass, reducing the risk of igniting materials or harming people nearby.
