Technical Glass Products’ (TGP) Fireframes ClearView® System helped create a sense of openness within University of Pittsburgh’s Allen Magee Scaife Hall. Able to defend against fire, smoke and heat transfer, this fire-rated glazing system joins pieces of Pilkington Pyrostop®, low-iron, fire-rated and impact safety-rated glass with nearly colorless butt-glazed joints. This eliminates the need for vertical mullions within TGP’s Fireframes® Heat Barrier perimeter frames, maximizing the amount of glazing possible. Providing unobstructed sightlines through the building’s central stairwell, the Fireframes ClearView System contributes to the hall’s open design and offers a close visual match to adjacent non-rated assemblies.

TGP’s Fireframes ClearView® System is comprised of butt-glazed Pilkington Pyrostop®, low-iron fire-rated and impact safety-rated glass with a heat-resistive perimeter frame. The butt-glazed joints feature nearly colorless transitions between adjoining pieces of the low-iron glass, eliminating the need for colored internal glass unit spacers or vertical frame mullions. This allows the assembly to all but disappear without compromising its level of protection.
