Insulated Fire Glass (EI) in South Benfleet: what's included
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.
- Insulating glass in sealed double-glazed units
- Impact-classified insulating glass
- EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass
- Matched glazing systems and seals
What to check before ordering insulated fire glass in South Benfleet
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.
Exterior positions
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.

It is a multi-layer product with specialist interlayers, and the frame and installation must suit its weight.

Can you price insulated fire glass in South Benfleet from photos?
