Fire-Resistant Glass
Integrity and insulating fire glass supplied and fitted into tested frames.
Learn more →For East Grinstead 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.

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.
Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired glass.
EW glass limits radiation to 15 kW/m² measured one metre from the glass, reducing the risk of igniting materials or harming people nearby.
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.
Whether the building is in central East Grinstead or the wider RH19 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Horley, Crawley, Crowborough. East Grinstead lies roughly 12 km from Crawley, within our West Sussex coverage.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so East Grinstead budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in East Grinstead identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
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.
Sector guides below cover industrial units, hotels and other buildings in East Grinstead.
Glass that stops flames and hot gases for the rated time but lets heat through. It is classified E.
In limited amounts and positions. Building guidance sets the rules; insulating glass is used where those limits are exceeded.
Yes. We survey and install in East Grinstead and across West Sussex, including the RH19 district and nearby Horley.
Survey timing in East Grinstead 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.
