Fire Rated Glass
At SGC Glass, we supply and fit a full range of fire rated glass products designed to give your property an added layer of protection against fire damage. Whether you manage a home, business premises or public building across Essex or London, our fire resistant glazing helps keep occupants safer for longer in the event of a fire.
Fire rated glass is a legal requirement in many UK buildings under current safety regulations, but even where it isn't compulsory, it remains the strongest glazing choice for any property. Our team works with architects, builders, facilities managers and homeowners to specify, supply and install fire rated glass that meets the required integrity and insulation ratings for each application.
Every installation is handled by our experienced glaziers, using certified products that comply with UK fire safety standards.What is Fire Resistant Glass?
Fire rated glass products are specially manufactured to provide properties with a first-line barrier against smoke and fire. Fire resistant glass is available with varied levels of protection, right up to ensuring some degree of protection from the heat of a blaze, but in all of its forms, fire resistant glazing is able to provide enhanced protection against fire.
The level of protection provided will depend on the integrity of the glass used. Integrity refers to the glass’s ability to remain in the frame when exposed to fire for extended periods of time. The time the fire rated glass will remain seated will be reflected in its fireproof glass integrity rating.
Another variable used in relation to fire rated glass products is insulation. This refers to the fire glazing’s ability to remain cooler on the side that isn’t exposed to the blaze. Having fire resistant glass that is able to maintain a safer temperature for longer can make a world of difference when it comes to safety.
It is important to remember that while all fire rated glass products have an integrity rating, not all will offer an insulation rating. So, it’s important to choose fire rated glazing carefully and ensure that your property is covered with the best insulated and fire resistant glass available.
Given its importance, fire resistant glass is compulsory under certain circumstances, pursuant to Building Regulations in the United Kingdom. Fire rated glass may look the same as regular glass but it is critically important to remember that if the glass bears no official Fire Protection Rating it will offer you no protection. Without this, it is not guaranteed fire resistant glass and will not be compliant with the strict building regulations on fireproof glass that are in place in the UK. All fireproof glass available at SGC Glass is certified fire rated glazing.
