Fire-rated glazing accessories – dedicated building materials for fire-rated glass
Glass offers many benefits: It impresses with a wide range of applications, exceptional material properties and impactful visual appeal in both outdoor and indoor environments. However, the material alone does not provide sufficient protection against fire and high temperatures. Effective fire resistance can only be achieved by combining fire-rated glass with suitable fire-rated glazing accessories. The wiser the individual components are coordinated and integrated with each other, the safer the resulting glass system will be.
Our fire protection accessories for fire-rated glazing include glazing blocks, glazing tapes, silicones, fire-rated adhesives and self-expanding building materials. They are integrated into the frame structure and can be used for almost any type of fire-rated glazing, from simple to complex.
Components of effective fire-rated glazing
In addition to our specially developed fire-rated glass, the following system components are required for effective fire-resistant glazing:
- Fire protection frame offering the required fire resistance period
- Intumescent seals (swelling when exposed to heat and closing any gaps between the glass and frame)
- Fire-rated adhesives and sealants (for fixing the glass into the frame and for sealing joints)
- Special fittings such as fire-resistant door handles and hinges
The ultimate choice of products depends on the customer’s project requirements, the applicable regulations and the desired fire resistance class. But whatever the application, it is essential to ensure that all components used are coordinated and integrated with each other so that they can provide the required fire protection properties as an overall system.
