Fire rated glazing systems
The two types of fire rated glass are fire-protective and fire-resistive. Fire-protective glass acts as a barrier against flames and smoke, typically used in interior applications. Fire-resistive glass, which includes products like our FireLite® Glass, offers a higher level of protection by also blocking heat transfer, making it suitable for more demanding applications where additional protection is required.
The amount of time the glass will act as an effective barrier against flames, heat and smoke under the effects of fire. When tested, the glazing must limit the temperature on the non-fire side of the glazing to no more than an average of 140C and no more than 180C in any single position. The integrity rating of fire rated glazing is the amount of time the glass will remain in situ in its frame/fixings under the effects of fire. This also denotes the glass's ability to prevent the passage of flames and hot gasses through the glass when exposed to fire on one side.
