Technical FAQs 4

What are fire rated glass specifications?

Several factors must be considered when creating or reviewing fire-rated glass specifications: Glass Thickness: Higher fire resistance typically means thicker glass, ranging from 6 mm for E-rated to over 40 mm for EI120. System Compatibility: The frame must match the glass rating.

Is fire rated glass fire resistant?

The truth is that no material is fireproof. Some materials, however, are more resistant to fire than others. Fire-rated glass is the most fire-resistant glass on the market. How does fire-rated glass differ from other types of glass?
