Before you order in Greater Manchester
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.
Limits on escape routes
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.
Not insulating
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
Regulations for Greater Manchester projects
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.
Questions from Greater Manchester clients
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 allowed on escape routes?
In limited amounts and positions. Building guidance sets the rules; insulating glass is used where those limits are exceeded.
What is the difference between E and EW glass?
EW glass also limits heat radiation through the glass, which reduces the risk to people and materials near it.
