What's involved with integrity fire glass in Newmarket

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.

  • EW laminated glass with radiation control
  • Polished wired glass where still appropriate
  • Matched beads and seals
  • Modified toughened integrity glass

What to check before ordering integrity fire glass in Newmarket

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.

Cost advantage

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

Newmarket coverage and nearby towns

Coverage around Newmarket includes the CB8 districts and nearby Haverhill, Ely, Cambridge. Newmarket lies roughly 55 km from Ipswich, within our Suffolk coverage.

Which rules apply to integrity fire glass in Newmarket?

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.

In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.

Integrity Fire Glass (E & EW): Newmarket questions

What is the difference between E and EW glass?

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.

How quickly can you survey in Newmarket?

Survey timing in Newmarket 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.
