Fire Rated Glass
Here at Express Toughening Ltd, we offer two different types of fire-rated glass, also known as fire safety glass:
- 2mm Pyroguard – EW 30 minutes
- 2mm Georgian Wire Polish Plate – EW 30 minutes
These products are perfect for use in doors or screens within timber or steel systems, helping to save lives and limit damage to property.
Pyroguard Fire Rated Glass
Pyroguard EW30 Impact is perfect for indoor and outdoor use. Offering double-sided fire resistance, its large sheet size can be cut to size, making it a cost-effective solution – suitable for both steel and timber applications.
An industry leader for many years, Pyroguard fire glass is extremely versatile and can be used in all kinds of fire screens and facades. This lightweight glass benefits from not only bi-directional resistance and UV stability, but also exceptional quality of light transmission for clear visuals.
Its ease of processing means that we can supply fire-rated glass cut to size with relatively short lead times, allowing for faster installation on projects with tighter timescales, while still meeting specifications for E or EW classified fire-resistant glass.
Georgian Wire Polish Plate Glass
Georgian Wired Polished Plate Glass is tested and assessed as a 30-minute integrity fire-resistant glass. Also known as Pilkington Pyroshield, this is the market-leading wired glass for fire resistance.
It has been tried and tested in doors, partitions, and windows in a wide range of buildings, from schools to offices and more. Available in 7.2mm, and ideal for overhead glazing, too, it comes with many benefits:
- The wire provides a visual sign that fire-resistant glass is present.
- Enables fire hazards to be seen through the glass.
- Achieves up to 120 minutes integrity only in monolithic form when installed in suitable glazing systems.
- The Safety versions are ideal for use in applications subject to impact resistance regulations (such as Approved Document B of the Building Regulations for England and Wales).
- If hit with sufficient force, the glass cracks, but it remains held in place by the wire, reducing the risk of injury.
