Healthcare environments demand glass that performs on multiple fronts: privacy for patients, fire safety for corridors and stairwells, hygiene for clinical settings, and durability for high-traffic public areas. Glass Technique Ltd supplies and installs switchable glass, fire-rated glass, and VISTASAFE EVA interlayer systems for hospitals, clinics, dental practices, and care homes across London and the UK. Our glass solutions help healthcare facilities meet regulatory requirements (Approved Document B, HTM guidance) while improving patient experience and operational flexibility. ## The Challenge 01 ### **Patient privacy in clinical settings** Consultation rooms, examination areas, and ward partitions need reliable privacy that can be activated instantly — without blocking light or requiring physical barriers that impede workflow. 02 ### **Fire safety compliance** Hospital corridors, stairwells, and compartment walls must meet strict fire-rated requirements (EI30–EI60). Fire-rated glass provides the necessary protection while maintaining visibility and light. 03 ### **Hygiene and maintenance** Healthcare environments require materials that are easy to clean, resistant to moisture, and do not harbour bacteria. Glass surfaces with appropriate interlayers meet these requirements. Our Solution ### **Switchable privacy glass** PDLC switchable glass for consultation rooms, ward partitions, and en-suite bathrooms. Instant privacy at the touch of a switch — no blinds to clean, no curtains to replace. ### **Fire-rated glass systems** EI30–EI120 fire-rated glass for corridor partitions, stairwell enclosures, and compartment walls. Certified to EN 13501-2 and BS 476, compatible with certified timber and steel frames. ### **VISTASAFE EVA interlayers** Moisture-resistant EVA interlayers for healthcare glass assemblies. UL 94 fire resistant, EN ISO 12543-4 durable, and suitable for high-humidity environments including bathrooms and wet rooms. Recommended Products [

**Fire Rated Glass**

Safety First Fire rated glass applications are in high demand due to the ever-evolving building and safety regulations in commercial and public environments across the UK (See Approved Document B). At Glass Technique Ltd, we supply fire-rated glass systems with EI30 to EI120 classifications for internal and external applications. Fire rated glass is designed to provide protection against fire by maintaining its integrity and insulation properties for a specified period. Integrity (E) glass prevents the passage of flames and hot gases. Insulation (I) glass also provides insulation against heat, preventing the transfer of radiant and conductive heat to protect people and property on the non-fire side. Our extensive selection is engineered to provide superior protection across diverse applications, offering reliable fire resistance without compromising on clarity or design flexibility.

**VISTASAFE EVA Interlayers**

Safety for All VISTASAFE is a series of innovative EVA copolymer-base interlayers developed by TPI All Seasons specifically for the laminated glass industry. The materials are made of world-class quality EVA resins and are formulated for ease in processability, excellent optical properties, and long-term stability. Due to its outstanding adhesive strength to glass, excellent durability against heat, noise pollution, moisture, and UV radiation, VISTASAFE offers superior durability and safety aspects to withstand severe environment or outdoor exposure (EN ISO 12543-4). VISTASAFE interlayer shows excellent resistance to impact in accordance with DIN EN356 and EN12600.

Switchable glass in clinical settings should be specified with appropriate electrical safety ratings. Fire-rated glass must be part of a tested and certified assembly including frame and fixings.
