What our integrity fire glass service includes in Whitstable
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
- Polished wired glass where still appropriate
- Matched beads and seals
- Modified toughened integrity glass

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.
