Fire Door Glazing in Edinburgh: questions

What is the difference between integrity and insulation glass?

Integrity glass stops flames and smoke but allows heat through. Insulating glass also limits heat transfer, which matters where people or materials are close to the door.

Which fire safety law applies in Edinburgh?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.

Can I reuse the existing beads?

Only if they are the correct fire-rated type, undamaged and suit the new glass. Often they are replaced as part of the system.

Can you price remedial work in Edinburgh from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Edinburgh, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
