What our insulated fire glass service includes in Coventry

EI glass is the choice where people need to pass close to the glass during a fire, where combustible materials sit near it, or where building guidance would otherwise restrict glazing. We supply and fit EI 30 to EI 120 glass in tested frames, internally and externally.

  • Insulating glass in sealed double-glazed units
  • EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass
  • Impact-classified insulating glass
  • Matched glazing systems and seals

Before you order insulated fire glass: what matters

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.

Optical quality

Modern EI glass is clear in normal use, with high light transmission at lower ratings.

Storage on site

Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.
