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.
We cover Dewsbury and the surrounding postcode districts, including WF12, WF17, WF13, WF5, WF16, WF15. Nearby towns we also serve include Batley, Ossett, Morley. Dewsbury is about 13 km from Leeds, the largest town in our West Yorkshire coverage.
Modern integrity glass is usually available with an impact classification, unlike plain wired glass.
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.
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.
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.
