Fire resistant timber screens
SCHOTT and Sealmaster have teamed up to successfully test and promote a solution to achieve a 60 minute integrity rating for timber screens with transom bars.
Corners with angles of up to 90deg are also possible.
Now architects, designers and building owners can explore completely new design opportunities whilst having a proven and reliable fire resistant glass barrier to fire, smoke, fumes and heat radiation.
This type of glazing is particularly suitable for application in interior glass partitions in all types of buildings including schools, office buildings, gymnasia, hospitals and showrooms, as well as areas that call for a high level of safety combined with visibility.
Pyranova is a clear multi-laminate glass tested and approved in the fire resistance class EI that affords 30 minutes integrity and insulation.
Depending on the fire resistance class, Pyranova is manufactured from panes of float glass with a transparent fire protective layer in between.
In the event of a fire, the layer foams up to become an effective fire shield.
