Fire Test for Fire-Rated Glass
Fire-Rated Product Testing
To earn a fire rating, glass must pass rigorous tests conducted by an independent laboratory. Watch fire-rated glass being tested to these standards. TGP’s FireLite® and Pilkington Pyrostop® fire-rated glass and other fire-rated products are UL-listed and suitable for blocking the spread of flames and smoke.
Hose Stream Test for Fire-Rated Glass
Fire-Rated Product Testing
Immediately following the fire test, heated glass is sprayed with water from a fire hose at specified pressures. The cooling, impact and erosion created by the hose stream tests the integrity of the glass. TGP’s products with fire ratings greater than 20 minutes such as FireLite® and Pilkington Pyrostop® have all passed the hose stream test.
Impact Test for Fire-Rated Glass
Fire-Rated Product Testing
Building codes clearly define hazardous locations where impact safety glass is required. Glass with this designation has been tested to meet impact safety requirements required for areas such as doors, sidelights, and areas close to the floor. TGP offers several fire-rated and impact-safety-rated products, including FireLite Plus®, FireLite® NT and Pilkington Pyrostop®.
