Fire-Rated Glass – Benefits & When to Use It
Fire-rated glass is an essential safety product that combines fire resistance with modern design flexibility. At The Glass Shop Online we supply a full range of fire-rated glass solutions, including Pyroguard, Pyrobelite, Pyrobel, Pyrostop, Firesafe and Pyrodur.
Why Fire-Rated Glass Matters
Fire-rated glass is specifically designed to withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of flames and smoke for a specified period — typically between 30 minutes and 3 hours. This gives occupants vital extra time to evacuate safely and helps firefighters contain the fire.
