What's involved with insulated fire glass in Catford
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
- EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass
- Insulating glass in sealed double-glazed units
- Impact-classified insulating glass

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