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.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Slough budgets are not open-ended.
We can phase work in Slough around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Every quote in Slough identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
