Fire-Resistant Glass
Integrity and insulating fire glass supplied and fitted into tested frames.
Learn more →For Frome 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.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
We supply and fit integrity glass in screens, doors, vision panels and windows where the fire strategy allows it, and upgrade to EW or EI where it does not. Choosing correctly between E, EW and EI is where most of the cost on a project is decided.
We can phase work in Frome around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
EW glass limits radiation to 15 kW/m² measured one metre from the glass, reducing the risk of igniting materials or harming people nearby.
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired glass.
Our Somerset coverage takes in Frome (BA11) and the neighbouring towns of Trowbridge, Bath, Kingswood. Frome lies roughly 17 km from Bath, within our Somerset coverage.
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.
Sector guides below cover offices, care homes and other buildings in Frome.
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.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
