The La Crema Estate at Saralee's Vineyard features rich wood framing throughout the estate. To achieve the required fire resistance needed in the stairwell down to the tasting room area while still complementing the surrounding space, the design team utilized Fireframes TimberLine® Series. The patented high strength steel sub-frame is rated for up to 120 minutes and features a real wood veneered metal cover cap, allowing for unlimited areas of glazing in fire separations. The system incorporates a Fireframes® Heat Barrier Series door. In addition, Fireframes ClearFloor® fire-rated glass floor lites line the main staircase, bringing natural light deep into the space.
