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.
Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired glass.
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
