Insulated fire glass, classified EI, is glazing that maintains integrity and keeps the temperature rise on the non-fire side within set limits for the rated time. It is usually made of several glass panes bonded with interlayers that foam into an insulating barrier when heated, or with a clear gel that absorbs heat.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
We can phase work in Lytham St Annes around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
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.
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
Whether the building is in central Lytham St Annes or the wider FY8, FY0 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Blackpool, Southport, Thornton-Cleveleys. Lytham St Annes lies roughly 19 km from Preston, within our Lancashire coverage.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
We can survey and quote for hotels, offices and other building types in Lytham St Annes.
Yes, in normal conditions. It turns opaque only when heated in a fire.
The glazing system kept fire on one side (integrity) and limited the temperature rise on the other side (insulation) for at least 60 minutes in a standard fire test.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
Yes. We survey and install in Lytham St Annes and across Lancashire, including the FY8 district and nearby Blackpool.
