What's involved with integrity fire glass in Totton
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.
- Polished wired glass where still appropriate
- Modified toughened integrity glass
- Matched beads and seals
- Impact-classified integrity options
Before you order integrity fire glass: what matters
Not insulating
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
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.
Cost advantage
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
