What our insulated fire glass service includes in Coalville

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.

  • Handling and installation of heavy panes
  • Internal and external-grade build-ups
  • Insulating glass in sealed double-glazed units
  • EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass

What to check before ordering insulated fire glass in Coalville

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.

How it works

When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.

Which rules apply to insulated fire glass in Coalville?

England Which rules apply?

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.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

Insulated Fire Glass (EI): Coalville questions

Does EI glass need replacing after a fire?

Yes. Once the interlayers have reacted, the glass has done its job and must be replaced.

What does EI 60 mean?

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.

How quickly can you survey in Coalville?

Survey timing in Coalville 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.

Can you price insulated fire glass in Coalville from photos?

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.
