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.
Every quote in Tamworth identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
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.
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
