Fire-Resistant Glass
Integrity and insulating fire glass supplied and fitted into tested frames.
Learn more →For Coleraine buildings, we supply, replace and check integrity fire glass wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

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.
Every quote in Coleraine identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in Northern Ireland, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a Coleraine building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
EW glass limits radiation to 15 kW/m² measured one metre from the glass, reducing the risk of igniting materials or harming people nearby.
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.
Whether the building is in central Coleraine or the wider BT51, BT52 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Ballymena, Derry / Londonderry, Newtownabbey. Derry / Londonderry, around 44 km from Coleraine, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
We can survey and quote for public buildings, retail and leisure units and other building types in Coleraine.
In limited amounts and positions. Building guidance sets the rules; insulating glass is used where those limits are exceeded.
EW glass also limits heat radiation through the glass, which reduces the risk to people and materials near it.
Coleraine is in Northern Ireland, where the Building Regulations (NI) 2012 and Technical Booklet E apply, with the Fire Safety Regulations (NI) 2010 covering occupied premises.
Yes. We survey and install in Coleraine and across County Londonderry, including the BT51 district and nearby Ballymena.

We measure each opening in Coleraine and check what the existing frames can accept.
Your quote lists each item with its classification and the evidence it relies on.
We install, photograph seals and fixings before closing up, and hand over the schedule.
