Fire Resistant Glazing Solutions
With the trend towards more light and open spaces being incorporated into the design of new schools, offices and public buildings, internal glazed fire screens are increasingly being specified as an alternative to solid walls in applications such as corridors, petition walls and lobbies.
PGS Glass Fire Rated glazing systems are designed to offer extensive range of fire protection from 30 minutes integrity only (EW) up to 120 minutes integrity and insulation (EI). Our extensivefully tested product range of systems can be either fully framed or butt jointed so ensuringthat functionality and aesthetics need not be compromised.
By working closely with clients, we can provide comprehensive technical support and advise to ensure a successful, compliant fire rated glazing solution for your project.
Glazing Performance Details
Integrity Only (E)
Integrity is described as the ability of glass to contain the spread of flame and smoke and prevents collapse, holes and cracks or sustained flaming on the unexposed side for a set time.
By remaining transparent and fully intact, the glazing system allows occupants to make their escape safely and permits rescue services to be fully aware of any impending danger.
Integrity Only (EW)
Offers the same protection as above but the intumesent interlayer in the laminated glass limits the amount of radiated heat that is transferred and reduces the temperature.
Integrity and Insulation (EI)
These are multi-laminated safety glass offering the highest level of fire protection, assembled with clear intumesent interlayers. In the event of a fire these interlayers expand at around 120ºC and transforms into a rigid and opaque fire shield, reducing heat and obscures the view of the fire, so minimises panic and alerts the emergency services to the presence and location of the fire.
