What our insulated fire glass service includes in County Fermanagh
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.
- Handling and installation of heavy panes
- Matched glazing systems and seals
- Internal and external-grade build-ups
Key checks for County Fermanagh projects
Storage on site
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
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.
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.

FAQs for County Fermanagh
Is EI glass clear?
Yes, in normal conditions. It turns opaque only when heated in a fire.
Why is insulated fire glass so much more expensive?
It is a multi-layer product with specialist interlayers, and the frame and installation must suit its weight.
What does EI 60 mean?
The glazing system kept fire on one side (integrity) and limited the temperature rise on the other side (insulation) for at least 60 minutes in a standard fire test.
