Pilkington Pyrodur™

Overview

Pilkington Pyrodur™ Fire Protection Glass was specifically designed to meet requirements for 20 minute applications. Its performance is based on the same advanced technology as Pilkington Pyrostop™.

Pilkington Pyrodur™ holds back flames, smoke and hot gases. Its great advantage compared to the majority of other glasses in its class is that it also offers a bonus in terms of better thermal protection (90 % of radiant heat). As Pilkington Pyrostop™ it must always be used as a part of an approved fire protection rated framing assembly.

Benefits

Totally clear, Pilkington Pyrodur™ is aesthetically superior to other fire protection glasses, combining fire protection with the traditional optical quality and clarity of glass.
Isolates the fire and protects the non-fire side from the blaze, reducing damage, allowing time for safe escape and providing protection for firefighters.
Protects against smoke, flames and hot gases.
Stays in place throughout the rating period when installed in an appropriate door or window assembly.
Established track record of performance proven over more than 20 years of use worldwide in a broad range of building types and in single glazed applications.
Designed for interior and exterior applications and is ideal for windows and doors.
Pilkington Pyrodur™ resists thermal shock caused by sprinklers.
Meets CPSC Category I and II Impact Resistance depending on type and is listed with Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Available in the U.S. in thicknesses from 0.28" (7 mm) to 0.94" (24 mm) with short lead times through regional cutting stations.
Comes with a five year warranty.

Combinations

Pilkington Pyrodur™ can be combined with a range of Pilkington glasses in insulating glass units for optimization of thermal insulation and solar control - all with built-in high performance fire protection.

Thermal insulation can be maximized in an insulating glass unit that combines Pilkington Pyrodur™ with Low-E glass.
Solar control can be optimized by creating an insulating glass unit using Pilkington Pyrodur™ and solar control glass.
