What is Tecdur Fire Secure?
Tecdur Fire Secure is a range of fire rated glass products made of glass-polymer composites engineered to provide protection from fire as well as high levels of physical attack. Our laminating technology allows us to incorporate a range of fireproof glass products into the Tecdur Secure Glass range. These can provide both integrity only and integrity/insulation solutions when glazed in suitable framing.
Why use fire rated glazing?
Our fire rated glass is designed to compartmentalise and minimise fire damage. It is often installed in areas designed to allow safe passage (entry/exit) in the case of a fire whilst restricting the spread of fire throughout a building to prevent structural damage. Fireproof glass should be installed as part of any building’s fire safety strategy, unless otherwise advised. Tecdur Fire Secure is rigorously tested to validate it’s performance in providing a period of integrity and or insulation protection against fire. The level of protection, or rating, is marked on the glass face and depends on the requirement. Fire glass rated as integrity only is denoted by the letter ‘E’ and refers to the period of time the glass can remain in it’s frame to prevent the ingress of flame and smoke. E.g E60 indicates that the glass will remain in it’s frame for up to 60 minutes. Fire glass denoted as providing Integrity and Insulation is denoted as ‘EI’. EI90 glass can prevent and limit the spread of flame, smoke and heat for up to 90 minutes.
Why Choose Us?
With over 15 years’ industry experience and extensive in-house manufacturing capabilities, our customers recognise our track record to provide consistently high-quality cost-effective security glazing. We also appreciate that in order to meet modern design requirements, projects often require increasingly advanced glass systems. Tecdur Fire Secure can be enhanced to provide additional performance benefits such as manual attack resistance [EN356, LPS1270], switchable privacy and transparency, sound reduction, ballistic resistance [EN1063] and blast resistance.
Tecdur FireSecure is engineered to protect people and property from the risk of fire.

Fire Secure Glass FAQs
What do the fire rating codes on Tecdur FireSecure glass mean?
Fire rating codes identify how long fire resistant glass can perform during a fire and what type of protection it provides. These codes are critical because they confirm whether the glass meets the required fire strategy, building regulations and life safety requirements for a specific application.
What does an ‘E’ fire rating mean on fire resistant glass?
An ‘E’ rating means fire integrity only. It indicates the length of time the glass can remain in its frame while preventing the passage of flames and smoke. For example, E30, E60 or E90 refer to 30, 60 or 90 minutes of integrity protection. E-rated glass does not limit heat transfer and is typically used where containment of fire and smoke is required without insulation performance.
What does an ‘EI’ fire rating mean on fire resistant glass?
An ‘EI’ rating means the glass provides both fire integrity and fire insulation. In addition to stopping flames and smoke, EI-rated glass restricts the transfer of heat through the glass. For example, EI60 or EI90 indicate that the glass can prevent the spread of flame, smoke and excessive heat for 60 or 90 minutes. EI-rated glass is commonly specified for protected escape routes and areas where heat exposure must be controlled.
Why is the fire rating code marked on the glass?
Fire rated glass is permanently marked to clearly identify its classification and duration of protection. This marking allows building control, fire officers, insurers and installers to verify compliance during installation, inspection and maintenance, ensuring the correct glass has been used for the intended fire strategy.
Can fire rated glass also meet security codes?
Yes. Tecdur FireSecure glass can be engineered to meet fire rating codes alongside security standards such as EN 356 and LPS 1270, allowing a single glazing solution to provide both fire resistance and protection against physical attack when specified correctly.
