Fire Rated Glass
In the event of a fire breaking out in your property, fire safety glass will withstand the high temperatures and help to prevent the fire from spreading as quickly as it would with standard glass. Here at Stevenage Glass, we make sure that all of our fire safety glass is made to the highest possible standard and fully complies with British Standards to improve fire safety within your property.
Whether you require fire safety glass in your home or commercial building, we can tailor our services to suit the specifications of your property.
We stock:
- High quality Georgian clear wired glass which provides approximately 1 hour fire resistance
- 7.2mm pyroguard which is completely clear and offers half an hour fire resistance
If you require any other types of fire glass which provide 1 hour resistance against fire, we can order this in for you.

Q: What is fire rate glass?
Fire rated glass is a specialist type of glass which acts as a barrier to stop flames and smoke from spreading should a fire break out in a building. In addition to this, the insulating qualities of particular types of fire rated glass can also provide some protection against the actual heat of a fire.
Q: Why can't i use normal safety/toughened/laminated glass instead?
Made from toughened or laminated glass, safety glass is specially treated to withstand impact from an object or person, making it more difficult to break and providing protection against injury. In their standard form, toughened, laminate and safety glass do not provide any fire resistance.
Q: Can Stevenage Glass tell me whether I need fire rate glass or not?
If you are unsure of whether you require fire rated glass or not at your premises, we can help guide and advise you on the best solution to suit your requirements.
Q: What type of fire rated glass do you provide?
We stock a 7.2mm pyroguard clear half an hour glass and an hour Georgian clear wired glass. For any other types of fire rated glass, we can look into sourcing this for you.
Q: Do you provide the frames for the fire rated glass?
We do not provide the frames for fire rated glass, just the glass itself. We also provide replacement glass for existing frames, too.
Q: What is the biggest pane size you sell?
The pane sizes are dependent on which type of product is required as there are some restrictions. We are able to advise you on this to find the most suitable solution.
Q: Do you supply the glazing seals for fire rated glass?
We do not supply the glazing seals for fire rated glass - we only supply the glass itself.
Q: Do you offer fire rated glass for a frameless system?
It is rare that fire rated glass would be fitted as part of a frameless system. If this is something you’re interested in, we can provide information on this.
Q: Does your fire rated glass come with evidence of performance based test information and a rating?
Fire rated glass undergoes rigorous testing to ensure reliable protection; we can supply a data sheet with evidence of performance based test information and a rating, should you require it.
Q: How long will the glass provide fire protection for?
Following meticulous testing, the glass is given an official fire protection rating. The length of time the glass can provide protection against a fire typically ranges from 30 minutes upwards; this time-frame is referred to as the ‘Integrity Period’ which describes the length of time the glass has stayed in the frame and has blocked out the flames and smoke - these are factors which allow the glass to successfully pass the testing stage.
