Fire-Resistant Glass
Integrity and insulating fire glass supplied and fitted into tested frames.
Learn more →If a building in Eltham needs integrity fire glass, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.

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.
Our Greater London coverage takes in Eltham (SE9, SE12, SE3, DA15, BR7, SE7) and the neighbouring towns of Blackheath, Welling, Catford. Eltham sits within our Greater London coverage, alongside Blackheath.
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.
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.
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.
If an existing frame in a Eltham building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

Yes, considerably, and it is thinner and lighter.

Yes. We survey and install in Eltham and across Greater London, including the SE9 district and nearby Blackheath.
