What our insulated fire glass service includes in Ashton-in-Makerfield

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.

Key checks for Ashton-in-Makerfield projects
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.
Exterior positions
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
