What's involved with insulated fire glass in Birkenhead
EI glass is the choice where people need to pass close to the glass during a fire, where combustible materials sit near it, or where building guidance would otherwise restrict glazing. We supply and fit EI 30 to EI 120 glass in tested frames, internally and externally.
- Impact-classified insulating glass
- Internal and external-grade build-ups
- Matched glazing systems and seals
- Insulating glass in sealed double-glazed units
Before you order insulated fire glass: what matters
Storage on site
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
Optical quality
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
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.
