Insulated Fire Glass (EI) in Halifax: what's included
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.
- Insulating glass in sealed double-glazed units
- EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass
- Handling and installation of heavy panes
- Impact-classified insulating glass
Key checks for Halifax projects
Exterior positions
Some EI products are internal only. External use needs a product and edge seal approved for UV and weather.
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
The temperature rule
EI testing limits the average temperature rise on the unexposed face to 140°C and any single point to 180°C, which is why people can pass it.
