Before you order insulated fire glass: what matters
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
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.
