INFORMATION NEEDED WHEN CHOOSING FIRE GLASS

Integrity

Length of time a glass will prevent the passage of smoke and flames.

Insulation

Length of time a glass will prevent the transmission of conductive and radiative heat.

Application

Whether glass is to be glazed internally or externally

Frame

Determines glass to be used (Larger sizes can be fitted into timber frames as opposed to steel).

Size of panels

If the manufacturers maximum tested size is exceeded, the fire resistant properties of the product cannot be guaranteed.
