Storage on site
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
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.
Optical quality
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
