Fire Rated Glass — Supply & Installation in London
At Glass Technique Ltd., we supply and install Fire Rated Glass across London, Surrey, and Essex. Our technical team provides expert support from specification through to full installation.
Overview
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.

Fire rated glass is designed to provide protection against fire by maintaining its integrity and insulation properties for a specified period.
This type of fire rated glass prevents the passage of flames and hot gases but does not provide insulation against heat. It maintains its structural integrity during a fire, preventing the spread of fire and smoke to adjacent areas.
In addition to maintaining integrity, this type also provides insulation against heat. It prevents the transfer of radiant and conductive heat, protecting people and property on the non-fire side from the effects of high temperatures.
Fire rated glass with insulation properties (I) is essential where protection of people and sensitive materials from radiant heat is crucial. The temperature on the non-fire side remains at a safe level, reducing the risk of burns and heat-related injuries.
The performance of fire rated glass is highly dependent on the frame. Incompatible frames can compromise the glass's effectiveness. Certified frames are tested and approved to work with specific types of fire rated glass.
Wide Range
Our extensive selection is engineered to provide superior protection across diverse applications, offering reliable fire resistance without compromising on clarity or design flexibility.
Largest Sizes Available
Our Fire Rated Glass is offered in the largest available dimensions, allowing for seamless integration in large-scale projects while maintaining optimal safety and performance.
Design and Specification
We provide expert guidance to help you design fire-rated systems and select the most compatible, cost-effective solutions for your specific needs.
Hybrid Performance
We combine fire-rated glass with other advanced technologies, offering customizable solutions like fire-rated switchable or bullet-resistant glass.
Internal Applications: Fire rated glass used internally must comply with building regulations and fire safety standards. It is commonly used in partitions, doors, and windows within buildings to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
External Applications: When used externally, fire rated glass must withstand not only fire but also environmental factors such as weather and temperature fluctuations. It is often used in facades, skylights, and external doors.
Testing & Certification: Fire rated glass undergoes rigorous testing simulating real-world fire scenarios. Certified products are approved by recognized authorities and meet stringent safety standards. The customer is ultimately responsible for ensuring compatibility with the certified frame and desired application.
Fire Rating
Up to 120 minutes of integrity and insulation protection. Certified to EN 13501-2 and BS 476. Intumescent interlayers expand when heated to seal gaps and block flames.
Integrity (E) & Insulation (I)
Two fire-rated glass types: Integrity-class prevents flame/smoke passage; Insulation-class additionally blocks radiant and conductive heat transfer.
Largest Sizes Available
Fire-rated glass offered in the largest available dimensions, allowing seamless integration in large-scale commercial projects without compromising safety.
Hybrid Performance
Fire-rated glass combined with switchable, bullet-resistant, and acoustic technologies in a single certified assembly.
Our fire-rated glass delivers measurable value across London's diverse building stock — from commercial offices and public buildings to high-rise residential developments. Below are the most common applications we install throughout London, Surrey and Essex.
Commercial & Public Buildings
London offices, hospitals, schools, and hotels require fire-rated glass to comply with Approved Document B. Our EI30–EI120 solutions are installed in staircase enclosures, corridors, and compartment walls — ensuring safe evacuation routes.
High-Rise Residential
With London's growing skyline of high-rise apartments, fire-rated glass is essential for compartmentation and means of escape. Our systems integrate with certified timber and steel frames for a seamless finish.
Hybrid Fire + Security Assemblies
For buildings requiring both fire protection and security, we combine fire-rated interlayers with laminated security constructs — ideal for ground-floor retail in mixed-use London developments.
