Home   Benefits   Fire Resistance

Secondary Glazing is often required in areas which require fire resistant glazing such as windows adjacent to a fire escape.  In order to maintain  design continuity with secondary glazing elsewhere in the building, aluminium sections need to be considered.  However, a fully developed fire achieves temperatures above the melting point of aluminium.

The use of a specially adapted fixed frame glazed with Pilkington Pyrodur glass in conjunction with fire rated mastics and intumescent seals offers a half hour fire rated product.  The design allows large windows to be treated.

Where one hour protection is required, purpose designed steel sections are specified.
