What our insulated fire glass service includes in Gloucester
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.
- Matched glazing systems and seals
- Internal and external-grade build-ups
- Handling and installation of heavy panes
- Impact-classified insulating glass
Before you order insulated fire glass: what matters
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.
Optical quality
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
Gloucester coverage and nearby towns
Whether the building is in central Gloucester or the wider GL1, GL2 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Cheltenham, Stroud, Tewkesbury. Gloucester is the largest town in our Gloucestershire coverage.

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.
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.
Do you carry out insulated fire glass in Gloucester?
Yes. We survey and install in Gloucester and across Gloucestershire, including the GL1 district and nearby Cheltenham.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Gloucester?
Building work in Gloucester follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
