What to check before ordering integrity fire glass in Caterham
Impact safety
Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired glass.
Limits on escape routes
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.
Cost advantage
Integrity glass costs a fraction of insulated glass and fits slimmer frames, which is why specifying it correctly matters.
