Integrity Fire Glass (E & EW) in Chelmsford: what's included

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.

  • Impact-classified integrity options
  • Glass-ceramic and borosilicate integrity glass
  • Matched beads and seals
  • Polished wired glass where still appropriate

What to check before ordering integrity fire glass in Chelmsford

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.

Not insulating

E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.

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.
