London's residential properties — from period conversions and apartments to new-build homes — benefit from specialist glass that adds privacy, comfort, and contemporary design value. Glass Technique Ltd supplies and installs switchable glass, acoustic glass, and fire-rated glass for residential projects across London, Surrey, and Essex. Whether you're renovating a bathroom, converting a loft, or building a new extension, our team provides expert glass specification and installation. We work with homeowners, architects, and residential developers to deliver glass solutions that perform as well as they look. ## The Challenge 01 ### **Bathroom privacy without losing light** London apartments and houses often have bathrooms with limited natural light. Frosted glass blocks views but also reduces light. Switchable glass provides privacy on demand without sacrificing daylight. 02 ### **Urban noise reduction** Properties near busy roads, railways, or flight paths suffer from external noise. Standard single or double glazing provides limited acoustic insulation. 03 ### **Fire safety in loft conversions** Loft conversions and home extensions require fire-rated glass to comply with Building Regulations (Approved Document B). This is especially important for windows facing boundaries or neighbouring properties. Our Solution ### **Switchable glass bathrooms** Install switchable glass in shower enclosures, bathroom partitions, and en-suite windows. Switch to opaque for privacy, clear for a spacious, light-filled feel. Popular in high-end London apartments. ### **Acoustic glass windows** Acoustic laminated glass (up to Rw 54 dB) for windows facing busy roads, railways, or airports. Significantly reduces external noise while maintaining views and natural light. ### **Fire-rated glass for extensions** EI30–EI60 fire-rated glass for loft conversion windows, home extension glazing, and boundary-facing windows. Certified to EN 13501-2, compatible with timber and steel frames. 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.

Switchable glass requires electrical supply — our installations include all necessary wiring. Acoustic glass specifications depend on the external noise environment.
