Fire-Rated Glass
Our fire-rated glass products provide critical fire protection while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Available in multiple ratings from 20 to 180 minutes, these solutions meet UL, NFPA, and CAN/ULC standards. Applications include doors, walls, and specialty installations requiring hose stream testing and positive pressure resistance.
Fire + Security-Rated Glass
Combining fire protection with forced-entry resistance, these systems meet ASTM F2923-21 standards for school safety. Products like TGProtect FR offer 60-90 minute fire ratings alongside Level 8 ballistic protection, ideal for high-risk environments requiring both safety and security compliance.
Fire-Rated Framing Systems
Our Fireframes line includes aluminum, steel, and wood options tested to match our glass products' performance. Designer Series frames offer modern aesthetics with 20-90 minute ratings, while traditional hollow metal frames provide proven reliability in institutional settings.
Specialty Glass Solutions
We provide gamma ray shielding, X-ray protection, and Neoceram 20-90 minute fire-rated ceramics. These specialized products meet unique requirements in healthcare, research, and industrial applications where standard glazing cannot perform under extreme conditions.
Insulated Glass Units
FireLite IGU combines fire protection with energy efficiency, achieving U-values as low as 0.49. These units incorporate low-E coatings, tinted glass, and other performance features while maintaining 20-180 minute fire ratings for exterior and interior applications.
