CLASSIFICATION AND TYPES OF FIRE RESISTANT GLASS


The choice of type of glass depends on the following parameters:


FIRE CLASSIFICATION

Class E: No flames or hot gases on the non-fire side Monolithic glass based on Soda-Lime Wired glass Class EW: Same as Class E plus measured radiated heat in front of the glazing may not exceed 15 kW/m² Float glass with interlayer Coated safety glass Class EI: Heat shield function. On average the temperature may not exceed 140° C above the initial temperature on the non-fire side of the glazing Float glass with multiple interlayer Tempered glass with interlayer

Heat Energy radiation according to glass classification





Radiation on the non fire side 1 m in front of the fire protective glazing
