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.
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
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.
Coverage around Egham includes the TW20, GU25, TW18, TW19 districts and nearby Staines-upon-Thames, Ashford, Windsor. Woking, around 13 km from Egham, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
