Fire spread inhibiting glass structure
2011. January 14.A range of fire-resistant glass types is available offering increasing levels of protection and made of a special material called borosilicate.
It should be noted that fire-resistant glass must always be specified as part of a tested and approved glazing system, and installation should be carried out by specialists in order to ensure that the expected fire performance is achieved should it be called upon.
The categorization of fire-resistant glasses:
G (prevents fire expansions for 30 to 120 minutes)
F (prevents fire and heat expansions for 30 to 120 minutes)
We distinguish the following types regarding the method of production:
Single glazing (raw material borosilicate, category G)
Double or more glazing (special laminated glass from float glas, category G and F)
All of the above mentioned fire resistant glass types can be utilised as the component of the most modern insulating glass stucture.
