Fire Rated Glass
Choose toughened heat-resistant glass, cut to size and customized in the UK
Fire-rated glass is a specialized glazing material engineered to prevent the spread of flames and smoke during a fire, thereby enhancing building safety without compromising visibility and natural light.
Fire Resistance
Fire-rated glass is tested and rated to withstand fire exposure for specified durations, typically ranging from 20 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the product and application.
Safety Ratings
Many fire-rated glass products are also impact safety-rated, meeting standards such as ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16CFR1201 (Categories I and II), ensuring they provide both fire protection and resistance to impact.
Optical Clarity
Modern fire-rated glass options offer clear, wireless glazing without the amber tint commonly associated with traditional fire-protective glass-ceramics, enhancing aesthetic appeal.
Applications
Due to its durability and safety properties, toughened glass is widely used in various applications, including:
Doors and Openings
Fire-rated glass is commonly used in doors and openings to maintain visibility while providing necessary fire protection
Walls and Partitions
Fire-rated glass can be used in walls and partitions to create fire barriers that allow light transmission and visibility, contributing to open and bright interior spaces.
Floors
Specialized fire-rated glass floor assemblies provide fire resistance while allowing light to pass between building levels, enhancing design flexibility.
