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.
Our Greater London coverage takes in Woodford Green (IG8, IG9, E18, E4, IG5, E11) and the neighbouring towns of Chingford, Walthamstow, Leytonstone. Woodford Green is one of the Greater London districts we cover.
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.
EW glass limits radiation to 15 kW/m² measured one metre from the glass, reducing the risk of igniting materials or harming people nearby.
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
