What's involved with integrity fire glass in Kirkcaldy
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
- EW laminated glass with radiation control
- Glass-ceramic and borosilicate integrity glass
- Polished wired glass where still appropriate

What to check before ordering integrity fire glass in Kirkcaldy
Impact safety
Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired glass.
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.
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.
Which rules apply to integrity fire glass in Kirkcaldy?
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
