What's involved with insulated fire glass in Coleraine
EI glass is the choice where people need to pass close to the glass during a fire, where combustible materials sit near it, or where building guidance would otherwise restrict glazing. We supply and fit EI 30 to EI 120 glass in tested frames, internally and externally.
- EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass
- Matched glazing systems and seals
- Impact-classified insulating glass
- Insulating glass in sealed double-glazed units
What to check before ordering insulated fire glass in Coleraine
Thickness and weight
Each step up in rating adds layers, so EI 120 is far thicker and heavier than EI 30. The frame has to be designed for it.
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.
Storage on site
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.

Which rules apply to insulated fire glass in Coleraine?
Northern Ireland Which rules apply?
In Northern Ireland, building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with fire safety guidance in Technical Booklet E, approved by the district council's building control.
Once in use, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require the appropriate person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing.
Technical Booklet E sets its own provisions for glazing on escape routes, so designs are checked against the Northern Ireland guidance rather than English documents.
Building types we cover in Coleraine
Insulated fire glass applies to many building types in Coleraine, including hotels and industrial units.
Insulated Fire Glass (EI): Coleraine questions
Does EI glass need replacing after a fire?
Yes. Once the interlayers have reacted, the glass has done its job and must be replaced.
Can EI glass be used outside?
Only products approved for external use, usually in a sealed unit with UV protection.
How quickly can you survey in Coleraine?
Survey timing in Coleraine depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Can you price insulated fire glass in Coleraine from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
