What to check before ordering insulated fire glass in Chadderton
Optical quality
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
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.
Exterior positions
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
