What our integrity fire glass service includes in Nottinghamshire
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
- Glass-ceramic and borosilicate integrity glass
Before you order in Nottinghamshire
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.
What EW adds
EW glass limits radiation to 15 kW/m² measured one metre from the glass, reducing the risk of igniting materials or harming people nearby.
Not insulating
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.

England rules for fire glazing
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.
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.
Questions from Nottinghamshire clients
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.

EW glass also limits heat radiation through the glass, which reduces the risk to people and materials near it.
Is integrity glass cheaper?
Yes, considerably, and it is thinner and lighter.
Can you survey anywhere in Nottinghamshire?
Yes. We can arrange surveys anywhere in Nottinghamshire, including Nottingham and Mansfield, Worksop, Newark-on-Trent, Arnold.
