Integrity and insulating fire glass supplied and fitted into tested frames.
Learn more →For Thetford buildings, we supply, replace and check integrity fire glass wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

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.
Whether the building is in central Thetford or the wider IP24 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket, Stowmarket. Norwich, around 44 km from Thetford, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired glass.
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.
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.
If an existing frame in a Thetford building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Thetford budgets are not open-ended.
Sector guides below cover retail and leisure units, care homes and other buildings in Thetford.
Yes, considerably, and it is thinner and lighter.
EW glass also limits heat radiation through the glass, which reduces the risk to people and materials near it.
Building work in Thetford follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Yes. We survey and install in Thetford and across Norfolk, including the IP24 district and nearby Bury St Edmunds.
