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.
