Pilkington Pyrodur® is a clear laminated fire-resistant and safety glass (in thickness from 9 mm) designed to provide basic integrity fire protection, but also offering limitation of radiant heat transfer. It relies on the same generic technology as Pilkington Pyrostop® comprising fewer interlayers.
Suitable for internal and external applications where fire-resistant glasses are required to provide integrity and a prescribed level of insulation up to class EW 60. Pilkington Pyrodur® is available in single and double glazed form, for use with steel, aluminium, softwood and hardwood timber frames.
It can be combined with functional glasses to produce a wide range of products for numerous applications.
Pilkington Pyrodur® is particularly suited for use in doors, screens and partitions where lightweight, narrow profiles are important and ease of glazing is a priority.
Further applications include insulating glass units in façades and roof glazing (special compositions for inclined applications).
Pilkington Pyrodur® is a high-quality fire-resistant glass that not only provides effective protection against fire, but can also be equipped with a variety of additional functions to meet the requirements of modern building projects. In addition to reliable fire protection, Pilkington Pyrodur® can provide thermal insulation for energy saving, solar control for a pleasant indoor climate and sound insulation for a quiet environment. The self-cleaning properties facilitate maintenance, while integrated safety and protection functions protect people and property from damage. In addition, Pilkington Pyrodur® with its integrated alarm system and customised design options allows flexible adaptation to different architectural requirements. This multifunctional glass thus combines the highest safety standards with a multitude of additional benefits for versatile and aesthetic room and façade design.
