The performance of fire resistant glass is expressed in periods of time for different qualities. The most common is 'integrity', which is how long the glass will keep the flames and hot gases back.

Modern architecture places high expectations on transparent fire protection solutions. Slim frame designs and large sized fire-resistant glass panels are essential aesthetic requirements.

Wherever these “open” concepts meet local construction and fire safety requirements for the protection of human life and property, transparent fire-resistant glazing comes into play.

The following pages illustrate the variety in function and design offered by transparent fire protection glazings in many different architectural contexts!

With Pilkington Fire-resistant Glass, the transparent protection against fire, smoke and radiant heat can be achieved in more than 1000 different system solutions and in more than 1500 individual functional glass combinations in an almost infinite variety of designs.

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.

Pilkington Pyrostop® can provide fire protection for as long as 120 minutes, affording both radiant heat insulation and protection against smoke and flame penetration.

A fire-resistant system is always as efficient and reliable as the sum of its components. This is why Pilkington is consistently following the principle of a complete solution for transparent fire protection in buildings.
