Key checks for Westhoughton projects
Thickness and weight
Each step up in rating adds layers, so EI 120 is far thicker and heavier than EI 30. The frame has to be designed for it.
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.
