Fire protection glass is a specialized type of glass designed to maintain its integrity and structural stability during a fire for a specific period. It helps to contain the spread of fire and smoke, protecting occupants and property.
Description
Types of Fire Protection Glass:
Integrity (E) glass: This is the basic level of fire protection.It prevents flames and smoke from passing through the glass but does not provide insulation against heat.
Integrity and Insulation (EI) glass: Offers a higher level of protection by preventing both the passage of flames and smoke, as well as providing insulation against heat.
Integrity and Low Heat Radiation (EW) glass: This type prevents flames and smoke from passing through while also reducing the amount of heat radiated through the glass.
Key Features:
Fire Resistance:Can withstand high temperatures without breaking or melting.
Smoke Resistance: Prevents the spread of smoke.
Structural Integrity: Maintains its shape and strength during a fire.
Transparency: Often maintains visibility even after exposure to fire.
