For the lobby and stairs to successfully work together to create a clear circulation path for people coming into the building, DBVW Architects faced the challenge of finding a fire-rated glazing system that satisfied building codes while also supporting transparency to the entry. The firm found the solution by combining Fireframes® Aluminum Series fire-rated frames with Pilkington Pyrostop® transparent fire-rated glazing, both supplied by Technical Glass Products (TGP).
