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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We can phase work in Reigate around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Every quote in Reigate identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
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.
Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired glass.
