What's involved with insulated fire glass in Keighley
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
- Handling and installation of heavy panes
- Impact-classified insulating glass
- EI 30, EI 60, EI 90 and EI 120 glass
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.
How it works
When heated, the interlayers turn opaque and expand, forming an insulating shield. After a fire the glass will need replacing.
