What our insulated fire glass service includes in East Riding of Yorkshire
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.
- EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass
- Handling and installation of heavy panes
- Matched glazing systems and seals
What to check before ordering in East Riding of Yorkshire
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
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.
Storage on site
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.

Questions from East Riding of Yorkshire clients
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.
Is EI glass clear?
Yes, in normal conditions. It turns opaque only when heated in a fire.
Do you cover all of East Riding of Yorkshire?
Yes. We take enquiries from across East Riding of Yorkshire, including Kingston upon Hull and Bridlington, Beverley, Goole, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
