Introducing the Fireframes Designer Guard™ System–The New Standard in School Safety

ADVERTSEMENT To meet the growing need for safer school and institutional environments, Technical Glass Products (TGP), a brand of Allegion, introduces the Fireframes Designer Guard™ System. The multifunctional system is the first fire-rated full-lite glass door system in North America certified to forced entry standards. All components have been system tested together to ASTM E2395, the industry benchmark for forced-entry resistance, and Intertek certified to verify all components perform as intended. To meet the dual need for life safety, the Fireframes Designer Guard System is available with fire ratings up to 60 minutes. It is ideal for school applications, detention centers, institutional buildings and anywhere a security- and fire-rated door system is required.

The Fireframes Designer Guard System consists of a die-rolled steel profile swinging door with sidelite(s) and emulates the appearance of a narrow-profile aluminum storefront. Its durable welded steel frame features precise edges and a professional finish. Glazing consists of FireLite Plus® Forced Entry IGU, a laminated fire-rated glass ceramic that provides impact safety and forced-entry resistance. With narrow frame profiles, clear fire-rated glazing and system specific components, the Fireframes Designer Guard System provides a seamless aesthetic with adjacent non-fire-rated doors. Combining fire safety, security and high design in one product, it is a turnkey solution for building and design professionals working to bolster safety in school and institutional projects.

Bird-friendly channel glass

With the entire channel glass line now certified as Bird-Smart, Bendheim offers an alternative to traditional opaque building walls and flat architectural glass. Architects and designers can now choose from the various surface textures, hundreds of colors, thermal performance coatings, insulation inserts, and frame systems.

Piccolo channel glass’ fine, corduroy-like texture, for example, deters birds from flying into it by reducing reflection on the glass surface. Channel glass can be manufactured in lengths up to 23 feet tall and can be installed in openings spanning hundreds of feet without interruption.

In addition to creating bird-friendly glass textures, Bendheim and Lamberts are committed to sustainability. Bendheim’s Lamberts glass contains 40 to 50% recycled glass, of which 25 to 35% is post-consumer content. Bendheim channel glass has also received third-party prepared Environment Product Declaration (HPD) and Health Product Declaration (HPD).

Bendheim’s channel glass façade systems diffuse light and minimize glare while also offering thermal performance with a U-value range of 0.49 to 0.19. Channel glass adds elegance with glass-to-glass corners and serpentine curves, and just ¼ inch thick, lightweight and easy to install.
