fire-rated glazing systems

The Tecfire Alufire AS85 Series fire-rated glazing system offers complete fire-rated glazing systems for any application. Rated up to 120 minutes with hose stream, these systems can be used for any fire-rated door, window, partition and wall application. They are beautiful, strong, high performing and available fast. They are affordable alternatives to the expensive systems seen elsewhere. Trusted by architects and builders around the world, with over 5,000 installations, Tecfire is available in North America from Glassopolis.

Fire resistive glazing

CONTRAFLAM One has three key advantages:

  1. Light transmission of up to 90%.
  2. Its impact on the environment is lighter, with up to 35% less embodied carbon than conventional multi-chamber products.
  3. It is light weight, which allows for faster installation, saving time and money on the job site.

CONTRAFLAM One is distinguished by a single-chamber foaming interlayer for all fire-resistance ratings, called HYBRIDCORE Technology.

Safety glass

PYROSWISS 45 is a highly tempered clear fire-resistant safety glass; recently extended to a more versatile range of UL-listed fire-protective and impact-safety 45-minute applications. It meets fire-rated standards and impact safety ratings. There are no UV-sensitive interlayers, no films or embedded wires, allowing the glass to realize a 90% visible light transmission in its low-iron option. Sound transmission values are among the lowest for its size on the fire-protective market today, with the added benefit of UV stability.
In addition, PYROSWISS 45 is suitable for hollow-metal framing and doors (3/4 inch glass thickness with minimum stop height of 5/8 inches) and is fully sourced and manufactured in North America for greater sustainability benefits.

Panelized curtain wall system

Safti First introduces the patent-pending, panelized SAFTI-EZ-ARC, designed for use in non-rated or fire-rated applications. SAFTI-EZ-ARC is the first U.S.-made, truly panelized, versatile structurally glazed curtain wall system. Two versions were developed to satisfy non-rated and fire-rated applications: SAFTI-EZ-ARC is a unique panelized system that will provide ease of installation in a curtain wall, while the SAFTI-EZ-ARC-FR is an ASTM E-119/UL 263 fire-resistive rated version recently successfully tested and listed by UL up to 2 hours. Additional testing is scheduled to meet hurricane, blast and tornado requirements.
