Insulated Fire Glass (EI) in Kingswood: what's included
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.
- Matched glazing systems and seals
- Handling and installation of heavy panes
- EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass
- Insulating glass in sealed double-glazed units

What to check before ordering insulated fire glass in Kingswood
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.
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.
