Before you order in Derbyshire
Cost advantage
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
Impact safety
Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired glass.
Not insulating
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
Which rules apply 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.
