Before you order insulated fire glass: what matters
Optical quality
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
Exterior positions
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
Where we work around Leicester
Our Leicestershire coverage takes in Leicester (LE1, LE5, LE4, LE3, LE2) and the neighbouring towns of Oadby, Wigston, Loughborough. Leicester is the main town we cover in Leicestershire.
