Integrity Fire Glass (E & EW) in Thetford: what's included

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.

  • Glass-ceramic and borosilicate integrity glass
  • Matched beads and seals
  • EW laminated glass with radiation control
  • Impact-classified integrity options

Before you order integrity fire glass: what matters

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.

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.
