What's involved with integrity fire glass in Newport (Gwent)
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.
- Glass-ceramic and borosilicate integrity glass
- EW laminated glass with radiation control
- Modified toughened integrity glass
- Polished wired glass where still appropriate
Key checks for Newport (Gwent) projects
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.
Cost advantage
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
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.

Which rules apply to integrity fire glass in Newport (Gwent)?
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
