What's involved with insulated fire glass in Slough

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
  • Handling and installation of heavy panes
  • Matched glazing systems and seals
  • Impact-classified insulating glass
