Key checks for Exmouth projects
Exterior positions
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
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.
Optical quality
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.

Which rules apply to insulated fire glass in Exmouth?
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.

We can survey and quote for offices, retail and leisure units and other building types in Exmouth.
FAQs for Exmouth
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.
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.
How quickly can you survey in Exmouth?
Survey timing in Exmouth 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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Exmouth?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
