In the event of fire, Pilkington Pyrostop® turns opaque, blocks out the fire, holds back flames and smoke, and forms an effective heat barrier that limits heat transfer to the protected side.

We offer a wide range of fire-resistant glass options with varying levels of protection to suit your needs. Protection levels are measured in defined time periods (30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes) and in terms of either integrity and insulation or integrity only, as designated by the European Standards.

The main classifications are based on tests to BS 476: ‘Fire tests on buildings, materials and structures’ Part 6 ‘Method of test for fire propagation for products’ and Part 7 ‘Method for classification of the surface spread of flame of products’.

Glass is an excellent choice for internal partitions. Not only does it allow light to penetrate further into a building but it can provide many other functions: Fire resistance – provide protection against fire. There are numerous applications for glass as an internal divide.

In modern architecture transparent fire protection is a core component of a holistic approach to implementing fire protection and safety concepts. Building, technical and organisational methods have to complement each other well to be best prepared in the event of a fire.

There is a wide range of tested systems approved by the national building authorities for corresponding use to solve the three functional challenges faced when having to create fire compartments, safeguarding escape routes and preventing flash-over in the facade and roof.

Pilkington Optiwhite™ is a low-iron extra clear float glass with very high light transmission. It is practically colourless, and the green cast inherent to other glasses is not present. It is therefore ideal for use where glass edges are visible or where a neutral colour is desired.
