What's involved with insulated fire glass in Newbury
Insulated fire glass, classified EI, is glazing that maintains integrity and keeps the temperature rise on the non-fire side within set limits for the rated time. It is usually made of several glass panes bonded with interlayers that foam into an insulating barrier when heated, or with a clear gel that absorbs heat.
- Internal and external-grade build-ups
- Impact-classified insulating glass
- EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass
- Handling and installation of heavy panes
Before you order insulated fire glass: what matters
Storage on site
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
Exterior positions
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
England regulations that shape the job
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
