We supply and fit integrity glass in screens, doors, vision panels and windows where the fire strategy allows it, and upgrade to EW or EI where it does not. Choosing correctly between E, EW and EI is where most of the cost on a project is decided.
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
EW glass limits radiation to 15 kW/m² measured one metre from the glass, reducing the risk of igniting materials or harming people nearby.
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
We cover Lytham St Annes and the surrounding postcode districts, including FY8, FY0. Nearby towns we also serve include Blackpool, Southport, Thornton-Cleveleys. Lytham St Annes lies roughly 19 km from Preston, within our Lancashire coverage.

After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Lytham St Annes budgets are not open-ended.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
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.
Integrity fire glass applies to many building types in Lytham St Annes, including schools and colleges and offices.
Yes, considerably, and it is thinner and lighter.
In limited amounts and positions. Building guidance sets the rules; insulating glass is used where those limits are exceeded.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
