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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Sutton-in-Ashfield, including the NG17, NG18 districts, and in nearby Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Mansfield, Alfreton. Nottingham, around 20 km from Sutton-in-Ashfield, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
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.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
