Insulated Fire Glass (EI) in Stroud: 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.
- Internal and external-grade build-ups
- Impact-classified insulating glass
- Handling and installation of heavy panes
- Insulating glass in sealed double-glazed units

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.
Optical quality
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.

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.

We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
