Pilkington Pyrostop® from TGP Provides Fire-Resistance with Style

ADVERTISEMENT Pilkington Pyrostop® from Technical Glass Products (TGP) is a fire-rated and impact-safety-rated glazing material that blocks radiant and conductive heat for up to two hours. The UL-classified and labeled product is fire-tested as a wall assembly, allowing unrestricted amounts of glazing in fire separations. See how the design team for the Empire State Building Observatory renovation project combined it with narrow-profile Fireframes® Curtainwall Series fire-rated frames to preserve the city’s spectacular views while also providing critical fire resistance.

Decorative laminated glass

Bendheim’s new HexaLite is a honeycomb-reinforced glass. The laminated safety cladding material is ideal for elevator interiors, lobbies, and designs requiring large glass panels and long spans. HexaLite’s aluminum honeycomb backing lends strength and rigidity to any glass thickness, while minimizing the overall weight of the panel. It can add as much as 1/2 inch to the thickness of the panel, with just 1 pound per square foot additional weight.

A Clear Choice: FireLite® Fire-Rated Glass Ceramic

ADVERTISEMENT TGP’s FireLite family of fire-rated glass ceramic is the exceptionally clear choice for highly visible fire-rated locations. Its superior surface quality, clarity and color emulate the appearance of ordinary window glass for distortion free viewing. Transparent FireLite fire-rated glass ceramic is offered in large sizes to maximize natural light diffusion while ensuring fire and life safety. In addition to transferring daylight, the line of products offers features to help improve energy efficiency and is available with high-impact safety ratings. The UL-classified and labeled products are available with fire ratings up to three hours and can be installed in standard fire-rated frames.
 
When installed in new generation fire-rated doors like TGP’s Fireframes® Designer Series, FireLite fire-rated and impact-safety-rated glass can protect against accidental human breakage while creating design-forward assemblies. With narrow steel profiles and precise European engineering, Fireframes Designer Series’ slender fire-rated door frame profiles provide a sleek, modern alternative to traditional hollow metal door frames. Rather than utilizing traditional hollow metal steel, the system incorporates thin, extruded steel profiles to better resemble the look of non-rated door systems. The framing system accommodates large lites of impact-safety-rated FireLite, resulting in code-compliant, striking door assemblies.
