What to check before ordering in Glasgow
Optical quality
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
Storage on site
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
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.
Regulations for Glasgow projects
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Questions from Glasgow clients
Can EI glass be used outside?
Only products approved for external use, usually in a sealed unit with UV protection.
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.
Is EI glass clear?
Yes, in normal conditions. It turns opaque only when heated in a fire.
Can you survey anywhere in Glasgow?
Yes. We can arrange surveys anywhere in Glasgow, including Glasgow and the surrounding area.
