Key checks for Chorley projects
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.
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.

In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
