Integrity Fire Glass (E & EW) in London: what's included
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.
- Glass-ceramic and borosilicate integrity glass
- EW laminated glass with radiation control
- Impact-classified integrity options
- Modified toughened integrity glass
Key checks for London projects
Where integrity glass fits
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.
Not insulating
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
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.
Which rules apply to integrity fire glass in London?
England Which rules apply?
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.

How we work in London
Rated systems, not just rated glass

Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a London building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Sectors we cover in London
Integrity fire glass applies to many building types in London, including retail and leisure units and hotels.
Integrity Fire Glass (E & EW): London questions
What is integrity-only fire glass?
Glass that stops flames and hot gases for the rated time but lets heat through. It is classified E.
Is integrity glass cheaper?
Yes, considerably, and it is thinner and lighter.
Do you carry out integrity fire glass in London?
Yes. We survey and install in London and across Greater London, including the EC1A district and nearby Westminster.
Do you work on occupied buildings in London?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
