Generally the glass will be loose loaded for manual offloading by yourselves / your own labour, we provide kerb side delivery, therefore you will need labour on site to offload the glass to a suitable area and sign for the delivery.

Alternatively the glass can be packed on timber A frames with the glass banded to the frame. The frame can then be forklift offloaded from the vehicle, the A frames are chargeable and refundable on return.

Glass does not generally come packaged but if you require your order to be bubble wrapped etc please state this when ordering and this can be arranged

There are several types of fire rated glass, including:

  • Intumescent glass: Expands when heated, creating a protective barrier.
  • Wired glass: Contains a wire mesh that holds the glass together if it cracks.
  • Gel-filled glass: Contains a clear gel that turns opaque when heated.
  • Ceramic glass: Made from high-temperature ceramics for excellent fire resistance.
UK fire rated glass regulations are mainly outlined in Approved Document B (fire safety) of the Building Regulations. These regulations specify where fire-resistant glazing is needed and the required fire ratings.

This depends of the glass specification but typically monolithic toughened glass would be 7 working days and toughened laminate glass would be 14 working days.

For designs / colours etc we would offer a lead time based on the requirements.

Fire ratings like E30 show the time (in minutes) the glass can resist fire while maintaining integrity (E) and/or insulation (i). For example, E30 means the glass can hold back flames and smoke for 30 minutes.
