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.
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Chelsea, including the SW10, SW3, SW7, SW1X, SW5, W1M districts, and in nearby Battersea, Fulham, Pimlico. Chelsea sits within our Greater London coverage, alongside Battersea.
We can phase work in Chelsea around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
If an existing frame in a Chelsea building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
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.
Integrity fire glass applies to many building types in Chelsea, including schools and colleges and student accommodation.
Yes, considerably, and it is thinner and lighter.
In limited amounts and positions. Building guidance sets the rules; insulating glass is used where those limits are exceeded.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
