Surface Options

Because FireLite is made from transparent glass-ceramic, it differs in
color from float glass. FireLite appears to have a warmer earth tone when compared
to the blue green tint of typical float glass. However, like float glass, FireLite
ceramic will not demonstrate a highly perceptible color once installed in a frame.
Additionally, FireLite products are manufactured in three distinct surface grades
(Premium, Standard and Obscure) that are best reviewed prior to specification. Please
contact TGP at 800.426.0279 or sales@fireglass.com
to request a sample kit.

Storage & Handling

Care & Warranty
- Care must be taken not to scratch the film.
- Do not use bristle brushes or abrasive cleaning materials.
- Cleaning methods used should be similar to those used on Plexiglas®.
- A soft cloth or clean synthetic sponge is recommended for washing. Do not use
the same towel or sponge for wiping sills or frames.
- A squeegee of 70 - 85 durometer hardness is recommended for removal of wash water
and dirt from the film.
- Do not apply heavy pressure in any cleaning operation.
- Do not leave the film wet.
- Make sure you use a different sponge, cleaning cloth and water bucket for cleaning
the outside and the inside of the windows.
- A little extra detergent for cleaning the film side will make using the squeegee
easier.
Failure to comply with these care and cleaning guidelines may result in
loss of warranty.
