Examples of applications

We have focused on a few examples of applications to demonstrate the versatility and flexibility of our fire-resistant glass in railway applications:

Driver cabin back wall doors:

In the event of a fire, the driver must bring the train to a halt immediately and still have sufficient time to evacuate to safety. Fire-resistant glass is a must to ensures a safe and controlled evacuation of both the driver and the passengers.

End carriage doors with or without side panels:

End carriage doors separate potential hazard areas, enabling a controlled evacuation of passengers. Fire-resistant glass is a must to protect passengers during evacuation.

Fire-resistant secondary transparent screens for monitors:

Additional screens are installed in front of monitors to prevent a fire spreading from a defective monitor. In the event of a monitor catching fire, the protective screen should help contain the fire. Due to the fact that they are more robust than monitor glass, they help to protect the monitor from vandalism.

Luggage racks comprising fire-resistant glass:

Fire-resistant glass can also be used for the shelves as well as the side and back walls of luggage racks on trains. These covers serve to contain flames, thus facilitating a safe and controlled evacuation of the train. Several design options are available to decorate the train interior.

Fire-resistant glass with design print or decorative film:

In addition to its fire resistance and reaction to fire properties, fire-resistant glass leaves room for creative and safety-relevant design. It can be printed on, or a design film can be applied. Performance enhancing films are also available for added features such as providing superior security and scratch resistance. Please contact our Technical Advisory Team for further details.
