Pilkington's fire-resistant glass range ensures safer as well as space-giving, brighter and sustainable fire safety design. We offer a wide range of fire-resistant glass options with varying levels of protection to suit your needs.

Modern architecture places high expectations on transparent fire protection solutions. Slim frame designs and large sized fire-resistant glass panels are essential aesthetic requirements. Pilkington Pyrostop ® Line, with its butt-joints, has been developed for such aesthetically demanding applications.

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. Regulations demand that the minimum time is 30 minutes.

Fire protection regulations are comprehensive, complex and diverse. The fire protection standards of building structures called for by each particular supervisory body vary according to type and use of the building, architecture, as well as the specific installation situation.

When exposed to fire, the pane facing the flames fractures but remains in place, and the interlayer immediately foams up to form a thick, resilient and tough insulating shield that absorbs the energy of the blaze.

Fire-resistant wired glass which in the event of fire, provides an effective barrier to flame, smoke and hot gases. Consistent and reliable fire protection is the primary and foremost requirement in all fire-resistant product lines and glass types.

Pilkington Pyrostop ® can provide fire protection for as long as 120 minutes, affording both radiant heat insulation and protection against smoke and flame penetration. Development continues to meet ever-tightening fire regulations.

Pilkington's Fire-resistant Glass range ensures safer as well as space giving, brighter and sustainable fire safety design.

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.

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.
