What is Fire-Rated Glass and Framing?


What Is Fire-Rated Framing?

Fire-rated framing works with fire-rated glass to protect openings from the spread of fire and smoke, and in some cases, radiant and conductive heat. Because fire-rated framing and fire-rated glass work in tandem to provide compartmentation, the frames and glass must carry the same fire rating and classification (fire protective or fire resistive) in accordance with the International Building Code (IBC).
