Integrity Fire Glass (E & EW) in Daventry: 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.

  • Matched beads and seals
  • Modified toughened integrity glass
  • Polished wired glass where still appropriate
  • Glass-ceramic and borosilicate integrity glass

Key checks for Daventry projects

Cost advantage

Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.

Not insulating

E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.

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.

Which rules apply to integrity fire glass in Daventry?

England Which rules apply?

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.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

FAQs for Daventry

What is the difference between E and EW glass?

EW glass also limits heat radiation through the glass, which reduces the risk to people and materials near it.

Is integrity glass allowed on escape routes?

In limited amounts and positions. Building guidance sets the rules; insulating glass is used where those limits are exceeded.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Daventry?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

How quickly can you survey in Daventry?

Survey timing in Daventry depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
