Insulated Fire Glass (EI) in Nottingham: what's included
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.
- Internal and external-grade build-ups
- Matched glazing systems and seals
- EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass
- Insulating glass in sealed double-glazed units
What to check before ordering insulated fire glass in Nottingham
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
Optical quality
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
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.
Which rules apply to insulated fire glass in Nottingham?

FAQs for Nottingham
Why is insulated fire glass so much more expensive?
It is a multi-layer product with specialist interlayers, and the frame and installation must suit its weight.
Does EI glass need replacing after a fire?
Yes. Once the interlayers have reacted, the glass has done its job and must be replaced.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Nottingham?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Do you carry out insulated fire glass in Nottingham?
Yes. We survey and install in Nottingham and across Nottinghamshire, including the NG1 district and nearby West Bridgford.
