Interior glass

Some of the key elements in building design and renovation are light, open environment, visual safety, and communications. Virtually all of these require the use of glass. In the past, designers had limited options under the building codes. Today, with so many new fire-rated glazing systems available, design freedom is at the fingertips of the creator.

North American building fire codes are built upon the concept of compartmentalization. Thus, fire-rated glazing materials are intended to help compartmentalize fire and smoke in a building. A fire rating is determined by the length of time a product can meet fire endurance testing to either fire-protective or fire-resistive US and Canadian building standards. The fire-protective or fire-resistive ratings mandated by most major codes are based on the application requirements. These requirements depend on how much time is necessary to maintain the structural integrity of the building, property protection, and safe egress of its occupants.

Fire-rated glazing materials carry a label on the glass that may include the manufacturer, listed fire-rating, safety standards, test standards and testing agency. There are a number of fire-rated products that will meet all the necessary fire-rated building code requirements. These products are divided into fire-protective and/or fire-resistive categories.
