What is Fire Rated Glass?
Fire-rated glass refers to glazing that employs the latest technology to prevent glass breakage when exposed to high heat, such as in a fire. Keeping a glass surface intact protects building or room occupants not only from fire but smoke that may accompany the fire. A newer, safer version of wired glass exists, as do other glazing alternatives that are clear and wire free. The actual fire ratings assigned to the glass refer to the length of time the glass can be exposed to heat before it fails. Ratings can be measured in minutes or hours.
Benefits of Fire Rated Glass
- Safety: The most crucial (and obvious) benefit of fire rated glass is its role in saving lives. By slowing down the spread of fire and smoke, it offers invaluable time for people to get out of a building.
- Aesthetics: Fire-resistant glass also helps protect property and assets within a building by containing the fire and minimising damage. By slowing down the fire, there’s less chance a building and its contents will be destroyed before firefighters have had time to put it out.
- Code Compliance: As well as all the safety benefits, for builders or those involved in the construction of a space, fire-resistant glass ensures compliance with building regulations and codes.
- Maintenance and Inspection: When you have fire rated glass installed, regular maintenance and inspection is essential to ensure that it continues to perform as intended. Any damage or defects must be addressed promptly to maintain your glass’ fire resistance and ensure it continues to meet the same requirements.
El CLass
Class EI (Integrity & Insulation) is considered as the highest performance classification level for fire compartmentalization. In addition to the integrity performance assessment, it measures the ability of construction products, such as fire resistant glass, to limit heat transfer during a fire so that neither the unexposed surface nor any material near that surface is ignited. Class EI glass also provides a strong barrier to heat for people near to it. EI-classified fire-resistant glass from Vetrotech compartmentalizes buildings and prevents the spread of fire to ensure safe evacuation of occupants, access by emergency services or create areas of refuge.
CONTRAFLAM
Most versatile solution for any kind of applications with maximum protection in EI class and biggest dimensions
CONTRAFLAM Structure
Flush glazed design solution without vertical profiles, for best in class butt-jointed EI partitions
LUNAX PORTA
SINGLE, DOUBLE OR ASYMETRICAL DOOR
Choosing LUNAX, you’ll have the possibility to order a single, double or asymetrical door.
EW CLass
Class EW (Integrity & Radiation) rating is also a measure of Integrity performance (E) with the addition of the ability to minimize radiant heat transfer from the fire side to the unexposed side. By reducing the amount of energy passing through its surface, EW-classified fire-resistant glass can provide enhanced protection against the spread of fire and create safer evacuation passages.
CONTRAFLAM Lite
Longest performing radiation control for EW class with the most versatile multifunctionalities
VETROFLAM
Light & cost-effective solution limiting heat radiation in EW class applications
E CLass
Integrity Class (E) is the measure of the ability of a construction element with a separating function to withstand fire exposure without the transmission of fire to the unexposed side as a result of the passage of flames or hot gases. E-class fire-resistant glass from Vetrotech prevents early glass breakage or melting that can put lives at risk.
PYROSWISS
The preferred light-weight tempered glass solution for E class applications
D/DH Class
Smoke containment screens provide fire resistance and maintain integrity at a constant temperature over a set period of time or on a standardized time-temperature curve (DH).
PYROSWISS SBS
Discrete glazed smoke barrier system to contain and channel hot smoke

FEATURES & CUSTOMISATION
Glass panes of door can be exchanged by SGG DIAMANT® glass upon request to make use of its advantages, namely its perfect clarity, improved colour rendering and more natural light. LUNAX® can be manufactured with individual (RAL) colours for fittings, handles and customized handle shapes. Its glass can be adapted by application of silk screen printing on the surface or an edge frit. Decorative films in any design and colour can also be applied on the glass door leaf after installation without any technical restrictions.
In addition to fire resisting LUNAX® door, a non-fire-resisting version with same accessories and sizes available for fire resisting LUNAX®, can also be realized. As a result, all glass doors with and without fire protection in a specific project can have the same look.
