Fire Resistant Glass is a crucial element in fire safety for any building project. By understanding the different types, standards, and testing requirements, you can ensure that your building is not only compliant with UK regulations but also safer for its occupants. At Grahamston Glazing, we are specialists in fire resistant glass and we are here to help you find the right solutions for you needs.
Fire resistant glass, also known as fire rated glass, is specialist glass designed to provide protection against fire. It acts as a barrier to prevent the spread of flames and smoke and, in some cases, offers insulation against the heat of a fire.
This type of glass can be integral to building safety and many building regulations specify the use of fire resistant glass in certain areas to enhance overall fire safety within the space. At Grahamston Glazing, we can help you to choose the type of fire rated glass you need, based on the specific requirements of your building project, such as the need for integrity, insulation, or both.
We provide glazing solutions for properties across Falkirk, Stirling and Alloa. These include splashbacks, windows, and doors and we are able to offer three different types of fire resistant glass:
Integrity Only (E): Prevents flames and smoke from passing through but does not offer heat insulation.
Integrity and Insulation (EI): Provides both a barrier against flames and smoke and insulation to protect against heat.
Integrity and Radiation (EW): Prevents flames and smoke and reduces the amount of heat radiating through the glass.
Our glass can be tailored to meet the following UK standards:
BS EN 13501-2: The primary standard for fire resistance classification.
BS 476-22: Standards for fire tests on building materials and structures.
BS EN 1363-1: General requirements for fire resistance tests.
BS EN 1364-1: Fire resistance tests for non-loadbearing elements.
