“Fire-rated and multifunctional glass has seen an increased demand in recent years,” says Devin Bowman, general manager at TGP, “so we’re excited to help GEI meet their customer’s needs with the FireLite family of products.” Bowman continues, “GEI has delivered over 100 million square feet of glass over the past 40 years. Pairing these products’ performance capabilities with their proven track record makes perfect sense.”
Joshua Burg, CEO of GEI, echoes these sentiments, “It’s clear to us that the FireLite suite will meet and exceed our customers’ expectations. Adding these products to our line-up will make it easier to meet the increasingly stringent demands for fire and life safety requirements.”
FireLite is a clear and wireless glass ceramic that offers outstanding fire protection. The FireLite family of products includes: FireLite, FireLite Plus®, FireLite NT and FireLite IGU. Fire ratings range from 20 to 90 minutes (180 minutes within door assemblies), and all the FireLite products pass the required hose stream test. In addition, FireLite NT offers high impact safety ratings (meeting CPSC 16CFR1201, Category II requirements). All products feature TGP’s ultraHD® Technology for improved color, clarity and surface quality.
