What to check before ordering insulated fire glass in Irvine
The temperature rule
EI testing limits the average temperature rise on the unexposed face to 140°C and any single point to 180°C, which is why people can pass it.
Exterior positions
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
Storage on site
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
Fire glazing rules in Scotland
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.

Insulated Fire Glass (EI): Irvine questions
Can EI glass be used outside?
Only products approved for external use, usually in a sealed unit with UV protection.
What does EI 60 mean?
The glazing system kept fire on one side (integrity) and limited the temperature rise on the other side (insulation) for at least 60 minutes in a standard fire test.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Irvine?
Irvine is in Scotland, so work needs a building warrant and follows the Building Standards Technical Handbooks, with the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 covering occupied premises.
How quickly can you survey in Irvine?
