What to check before ordering insulated fire glass in Weymouth
Storage on site
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
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.
Which rules apply to insulated fire glass in Weymouth?
England Which rules apply?

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
