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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Longton, including the ST3, ST4 districts, and in nearby Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Kidsgrove. Stoke-on-Trent, around 4 km from Longton, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
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.
Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired 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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
