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.
Optical quality
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
