There are many differing types of glass available in areas where resistance to fire is required, the level of protection required falls in to the following two categories.
The Integrity of a glass is the time it can stay intact during a fire, it is available in 30 minutes or 60 minutes options.
Insulated fire resistant glass retains it’s integrity but also measures the amount of time it can limit temperature rise on the non-fire side. Glasses from 30/30 to 120/120 minutes are available in various thickness.
Choosing the correct fire glass is critical and will only work if all components within the frame have been tested and certified.
