Fire-Resistant Glass
Integrity and insulating fire glass supplied and fitted into tested frames.
Learn more →We provide integrity fire glass in Archway and across Greater London, working from the classification your building needs and handing over the evidence that proves what was fitted.

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.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
If an existing frame in a Archway building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Every quote in Archway identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired glass.
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.
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
Whether the building is in central Archway or the wider N19, N6, NW5, N4, N8, N7 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Holloway, Muswell Hill, Chalk Farm. Archway is one of the Greater London districts we cover.
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.
We can survey and quote for public buildings, student accommodation and other building types in Archway.
EW glass also limits heat radiation through the glass, which reduces the risk to people and materials near it.
Yes, considerably, and it is thinner and lighter.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Yes. We survey and install in Archway and across Greater London, including the N19 district and nearby Holloway.
