Before you order insulated fire glass: what matters
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.
Optical quality
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.

Does EI glass need replacing after a fire?
Yes. Once the interlayers have reacted, the glass has done its job and must be replaced.
How quickly can you survey in Wickford?
Survey timing in Wickford 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 Wickford?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
