Key checks for Ashford (Kent) projects
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
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.
Exterior positions
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
