What's involved with insulated fire glass in Banstead
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.
- Handling and installation of heavy panes
- Internal and external-grade build-ups
- Insulating glass in sealed double-glazed units
- EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass
How we work in Banstead
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Banstead building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
What to check before ordering insulated fire glass in Banstead
Storage on site
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
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.
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.
