Fire Resistant Glass Birmingham
The fire environment is hostile and its effects can be catastrophic for both life and property. The occurrence of fire and its development is also essentially unpredictable and uncertain.
It is therefore critically important that the specification, selection, and installation of fire resistant glazing are all carried out with close attention to detail.
We offer a wide range of fire-resistant glass options with varying levels of protection to suit your needs. Protection levels are measured in defined time periods (30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes) and in terms of either integrity and insulation or integrity only, as designated by the European Standards.
Integrity
Integrity is described as the ability to contain a fire to prevent collapse, holing, cracks and fissures or sustained flaming on the unexposed face.
Insulation
Insulation (in addition to integrity) is the ability to provide a restriction of the heat rise, measured on the surface to an average of 140°.

Would recommend.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Alan Moran2024-06-14Great company to work with, very helpful and friendly - very reasonably priced too. For the latest work we were helped by Jamie who was down to earth, friendly, and did a great job - he can come back at any time - he will too because when he was here I asked him to come back and replace a double glazed pane on one of our Velux windows. Replacing four wood panels on our front door with glass is a tremendous improvement. We had thought that we would have to buy a new door but replacing the wood panels with glass is a much cheaper option and it looks great. I hope you agree.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Nicolas von Malaisé2024-06-11Jamie did an excellent job replacing a double glazing window which had developed condensation. The job was done efficiently and well, and he tidied everything up really nicely. Many thanks.
