What's involved with insulated fire glass in Northampton
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
- EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass
- Internal and external-grade build-ups
- Handling and installation of heavy panes
What to check before ordering insulated fire glass in Northampton
The temperature rule
EI testing limits the average temperature rise on the unexposed face to 140°C and any single point to 180°C, which is why people can pass it.
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
Storage on site
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.

Insulated Fire Glass (EI): Northampton questions
Can EI glass be used outside?
Only products approved for external use, usually in a sealed unit with UV protection.
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.
Can you price insulated fire glass in Northampton 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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Northampton?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
