Technical Glass Products Presents Firelite IGU
Fire, Impact Safety and Energy Compliance in One Glazing Product
KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Technical Glass Products announces the availability of FireLite IGU, the first fire-rated, insulated glass ceramic unit that also complies with energy codes.
FireLite IGU is constructed with FireLite or FireLite Plus on one side, a sheet of float or tempered glass on the other, and an air space in between. It is designed for use in exterior applications where energy codes require an insulated product, or for interior applications with special needs such as sound reduction. When constructed with FireLite Plus, it also meets the impact safety requirements of 16CFR 1201 (Cat. II).
Listed with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., FireLite IGU carries fire ratings of up to 3 hours for doors and from 20 to 60 minutes for other applications. FireLite IGU passes the hose stream test during fire rating certification. In other words, the spray from sprinklers or extinguishers will not affect the product's performance.
FireLite IGU can also incorporate a variety of glass products including low-E, tinted, reflective, one-way mirror and art glass. For greater design flexibility, the product can be etched (or beveled when using FireLite Plus) on one side without affecting the fire rating. FireLite IGU is available in sizes up to 48" x 96".
