While renovating the historic New York Fire Department Engine Co. 239 Firehouse, Beyhan Karahan desired to keep the main staircase open as in the original house, yet needed to meet strict fire and life safety codes. They also wanted to maintain visibility. They found their solution in Pilkington Pyrostop® fire-rated glass and Fireframes® Heat Barrier Series frames from Technical Glass Products to achieve the design and life safety goals.
