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.
We cover Godalming and the surrounding postcode districts, including GU7, GU8. Nearby towns we also serve include Guildford, Aldershot, Farnham. Woking, around 15 km from Godalming, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Godalming budgets are not open-ended.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
If an existing frame in a Godalming building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Insulated fire glass applies to many building types in Godalming, including hotels and industrial units.
Yes. Once the interlayers have reacted, the glass has done its job and must be replaced.
The glazing system kept fire on one side (integrity) and limited the temperature rise on the other side (insulation) for at least 60 minutes in a standard fire test.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
