What's involved with insulated fire glass in Walsall
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
- Matched glazing systems and seals
- Handling and installation of heavy panes
- Internal and external-grade build-ups
Key checks for Walsall projects
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
Exterior positions
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
Storage on site
Insulating fire glass should be stored dry, upright and away from direct sun before fitting.

England regulations that shape the job
England Which rules apply?
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.
Building types we cover in Walsall

Questions about insulated fire glass in Walsall
What does EI 60 mean?
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.
Why is insulated fire glass so much more expensive?
It is a multi-layer product with specialist interlayers, and the frame and installation must suit its weight.
Can you price insulated fire glass in Walsall from photos?
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.
How quickly can you survey in Walsall?
Survey timing in Walsall depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
