What to check before ordering insulated fire glass in Luton

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.

England Which rules apply?

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
