Fire-Resistant Glass
Integrity and insulating fire glass supplied and fitted into tested frames.
Learn more →From the SS14 district outwards, we arrange integrity fire glass for buildings across Basildon, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
We supply and fit integrity glass in screens, doors, vision panels and windows where the fire strategy allows it, and upgrade to EW or EI where it does not. Choosing correctly between E, EW and EI is where most of the cost on a project is decided.
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.
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 glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
Our Essex coverage takes in Basildon (SS14, SS16, SS15, SS13) and the neighbouring towns of Pitsea, Stanford-le-Hope, Wickford. Basildon lies roughly 18 km from Southend-on-Sea, within our Essex coverage.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Basildon budgets are not open-ended.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
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.
