Wholesale Glass produce a wide range of fire glass types, offering increasing levels of protection. Measured in defined time periods (30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes) and in terms of Integrity and Insulation or Integrity only as designated by the European Standards.

The range is complimented by the market leading 7.2mm Pyroguard: 3 ply and unwired, offering 30 minute integrity, rated to BS 476 part 20, plus the added benefit of radiation control.
