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.
Coverage around Doncaster includes the DN1, DN2, DN4 districts and nearby Bentley, Rotherham, Pontefract. Sheffield, around 27 km from Doncaster, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
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.
