Choosing fire-rated glazing involves balancing the building's fire safety requirements with its design and documentation needs. The following features highlight key considerations when selecting a suitable system for your commercial project.
Select glazing systems appropriate to the fire protection requirements of the project.
Explore frame finishes and glazing configurations while accounting for the required fire performance.
Compare available integrity and insulation ratings against the project's specification.
Relevant test evidence and certification documentation can help inform the specification and building control process.
Fire rated frames are available in a wide range of RAL powder coat colours and finishes, helping you achieve the required performance without compromising your project's design.
From integrity-rated glazing to fully insulating EI-rated units, our fire rated range includes E30, E60, EI30 and EI60 classifications. These solutions are suitable for doors, screens, sidelights and partitions across new build and refurbishment projects.
Fire rated doors, windows and partitions form an important part of passive fire protection, helping contain flames, smoke and hot gases within designated areas of a building. This can help slow the spread of fire and support safer evacuation.
UK building regulations set requirements for fire resistance in specific parts of buildings, including certain protected routes and escape areas. Selecting the appropriate system and ensuring it is correctly specified and installed is therefore essential.
Our experienced glazing team understands the importance of accurate specification on fire rated projects. We can help you understand the available systems and choose an appropriate solution for the requirements of your building.
Every fire rated installation we carry out comes with relevant test evidence and certification documentation, giving you the information and assurance you need throughout your project.
Not sure which fire rating you need or where fire rated glazing may be required? Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often.
Contact UsAn E30 rating indicates 30 minutes of fire integrity, helping prevent flames and hot gases from passing through. EI30 also provides insulation, limiting heat transfer to the unexposed side.
Fire rated glazing may be required in areas such as protected stairways, corridors, lobbies and certain locations close to escape routes. Requirements depend on the building's design and fire safety strategy.
No. Toughened glass is primarily designed for safety and strength, while fire rated glass is tested for specific fire performance. The two should not be treated as interchangeable.
Yes. Fire rated frames are available in a wide range of powder coat colours and finishes, allowing the glazing to complement your building's design while maintaining the required fire performance.
Yes. Fire rated products are supplied with relevant test evidence and compliance documentation to support building control requirements and provide a clear record for your project.
