Key checks for Plymouth projects
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.
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.
