What to check before ordering insulated fire glass in Burton upon Trent
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.
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.
