- Internal and external-grade build-ups
- Insulating glass in sealed double-glazed units
- Matched glazing systems and seals

What you can expect in Salford

Before you order insulated fire glass: what matters
Exterior positions
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
Optical quality
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.

FAQs for Salford
Is EI glass clear?
Yes, in normal conditions. It turns opaque only when heated in a fire.
Why is insulated fire glass so much more expensive?
It is a multi-layer product with specialist interlayers, and the frame and installation must suit its weight.
How quickly can you survey in Salford?
Survey timing in Salford depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Salford?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
