Integrity Fire Glass (E & EW) in Droylsden: what's included

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.

  • EW laminated glass with radiation control
  • Modified toughened integrity glass
  • Impact-classified integrity options
  • Polished wired glass where still appropriate

Before you order integrity fire glass: what matters

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.

Not insulating

E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.

Impact safety

Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired glass.
