Fire-rated glazing
ToughGlaze supplies toughened, fire-protection-rated glazing for glaziers and double-glazed unit manufacturers across the UK.
Choose ToughGlaze. Choose quality. With 30 years of industry experience, we're proud to be one of the most trusted heat-resistant glass manufacturers in the UK.
Trusted for glass processing since 1993
Distribution throughout the UK mainland (depending on order)
"Fire-rated glass" means any glass that has been tested and proven to meet fire-resistance standards. The main British standard for fire resistance is BS EN 1364-1:2015.
Fire-rated glass is sometimes called "heatproof glass" or "fireproof glass". This isn't strictly correct, as no type of glass is entirely fireproof. Rather, glass is rated based on how long it can withstand fire. For instance, E30 glass is rated to last for at least 30 minutes without breaking.
What rating is ToughGlaze TG FR fire-resistant glass?
Our fire-resistant glass is tested to BS EN 1364-1:2015 and is E30-rated.
This means it will protect against flames and toxic fumes for a minimum of 30 minutes in the event of a fire. It also provides some level of protection from radiated heat (rated Ew15).
Each glass carries its own certification and we maintain production records for each panel manufactured. These are available on request.
How is fire-rated glass made?
ToughGlaze has developed its own state-of-the-art manufacturing technique for fire-rated glass. A special edge finish is applied before the glass sheets go through a unique, calibrated toughening process. The glass is then tested in accordance with BS EN 1364-1:2015.
The result is a fire- and heat-resistant tempered glass that's E30-rated and is appropriate for many specialised applications.
Can fire-rated doors have glass panels?
Yes. However, glazed fire doors must use fire-rated glass that meets relevant building regulations. For general information, see our guide to fire door and glass compliance.
Can you cut fire-rated glass?
TG FR fire-resistant glazing is a special type of toughened glass. This means it can't be cut after the thermal tempering process has been completed. Like all forms of toughened glass, it would shatter instantly if an attempt was made to cut it.
However, we can supply high-quality fire glass cut to any size or shape. This is because we carry out all additional processing – including cutting – before the glass is tempered.
I have the pleasure to recommend Toughglaze as an undoubted market leader. Their price, quality and service is second to none. And I say that after making business with many, big or small... there’s only one champion!
Thanks you and I will be back for more
