Pilkington Pyrostop® Fire-Rated Glass Walls Available with Integrated Blinds
Snoqualmie, Wash. — Pilkington Pyrostop®, a fire-rated, impact safety-rated, transparent glass wall panel that also blocks heat transfer, is now available with integrated Venetian blinds to enhance privacy and reduce glare. www.fireglass.com
Distributed by Technical Glass Products (TGP), Pilkington Pyrostop products block the spread of flames and smoke, as well as reduce the transfer of radiant and conductive heat from a fire. Pilkington Pyrostop also meets impact requirements of CPSC 16CFR1201 Category I and Category II. The transparent wall panels are fire-rated for up to two hours and make an excellent alternative to a solid wall, allowing unrestricted amounts of glass. They are ideal for applications where the aesthetics of glass are desired and codes require a fire-rated product for life and property safety.
In instances where users want to control the amount of light entering a space or visibility into the space, Pilkington Pyrostop products with 45- and 60-minute fire ratings can be combined with manually operable Venetian blinds included in an insulated glass unit. Usable in interior spaces, Pilkington Pyrostop with integrated blinds is well suited for glazed office fronts within buildings, conference room windows, private offices, lobbies and other similar uses. The blinds are encased between multiple layers of glass, so never need to be cleaned. In addition, the blinds are available in a wide range of colors and are fabricated in the U.S., allowing for short delivery lead times.
Pilkington Pyrostop products are listed with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.®, and pass all fire-rated glazing testing requirements, including the mandatory hose stream test.
