Safety Solutions
What is Fire Resistant Glass?
Fire rated glass products are specially manufactured to provide properties with a first-line barrier against smoke and fire. Fire resistant glass is available with varied levels of protection, right up to ensuring some degree of protection from the heat of a blaze, but in all of its forms, fire resistant glazing is able to provide enhanced protection against fire.
The level of protection provided will depend on the integrity of the glass used. Integrity refers to the glass’s ability to remain in the frame when exposed to fire for extended periods of time. The time the fire rated glass will remain seated will be reflected in its fireproof glass integrity rating.
High Performance Glazing
Insulated Fire Rated Glass
Another variable used in relation to fire rated glass products is insulation. This refers to the fire glazing’s ability to remain cooler on the side that isn’t exposed to the blaze. Having fire resistant glass that is able to maintain a safer temperature for longer can make a world of difference when it comes to safety.
It is important to remember that while all fire rated glass products have an integrity rating, not all will offer an insulation rating. So, it’s important to choose fire rated glazing carefully and ensure that your property is covered with the best insulated and fire resistant glass available.
Building Regulations
Is Fire-Rated Glass Compulsory?
Given its importance, fire resistant glass is compulsory under certain circumstances, pursuant to Building Regulations in the United Kingdom.
Fire rated glass may look the same as regular glass but it is critically important to remember that if the glass bears no official Fire Protection Rating it will offer you no protection. Without this, it is not guaranteed fire resistant glass and will not be compliant with the strict building regulations on fireproof glass that are in place in the UK. All fireproof glass available at SGC Glass is certified fire rated glazing.
