Fire Resisting Glazing

Passive fire protection is based on installing products and materials into the existing structure of a building to prevent the spread of flames and smoke in the event of a fire. One such highly effective way of achieving this objective is through the professional installation of fire resisting glazing. 

Fire resisting glazing is specially designed and manufactured glass which has been proven to prevent the spread of a fire for a given amount of time, allowing it to be contained while occupants of a building can be evacuated safely and limit the effects of the fire in the time it takes for emergency services to arrive and extinguish the blaze. The use of fire resisting glazing within a passive fire protection plan is therefore an essential element in a building’s safety resources.

Furthermore, not only can fire resisting glazing prevent the spread of fire and smoke, but it can also restrict radiant and conductive heat transfer. This means that objects on the other side of the glass will not overheat and spontaneously combust. Valuable equipment and other assets can be protected from damage, so the negative impact on a company’s operations after the fire has been addressed will be minimised. The safety provided by this material cannot be underestimated, but its installation should be planned and handled by fire safety experts.  

Here at EA-RS Passive Fire Protection our team of highly skilled engineers will be able to select the right type of fire resisting glazing for your specific requirements. Once the correct approach has been finalised in consultation with you as our customer, we will then install the glazing and maintain it on a regular basis. This monitoring and maintenance will ensure that it will always be fully effective in preventing the spread of a fire.
