Glass façades must meet fire-safety requirements, particularly for escape routes, compartmentalisation, or where façades meet adjoining buildings.

Key considerations:

• Regulatory compliance – fire-rated glass performance varies by region.
• Integrity & Insulation – glass should maintain structural stability and prevent heat transfer.
• Design integration – fire-rated solutions can blend seamlessly with non-fire-rated glazing.

Recommended glass types:

• Fire-resistant laminated glass with intumescent interlayers
• Specially formulated toughened fire-resistant glass
• Insulated fire-resistant glass units combining fire safety with thermal performance
