EI glass is the choice where people need to pass close to the glass during a fire, where combustible materials sit near it, or where building guidance would otherwise restrict glazing. We supply and fit EI 30 to EI 120 glass in tested frames, internally and externally.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Bury, including the BL9, BL8 districts, and in nearby Radcliffe, Heywood, Whitefield. Bury lies roughly 14 km from Manchester, within our Greater Manchester coverage.
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
