What our insulated fire glass service includes in Nuneaton
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.
- Internal and external-grade build-ups
- EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass
- Insulating glass in sealed double-glazed units
- Handling and installation of heavy panes
Key checks for Nuneaton projects
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.
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
Optical quality
Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.
