The design team for the EEEC selected Fireframes ClearView® System from Technical Glass Products to create a seamless glass aesthetic and provide critical fire resistance in the main entrance and second-floor corridor overlooking the main stairway. The 60-minute fire-rated butt-glazed system features nearly colorless transitions between adjoining pieces of low-iron Pilkington Pyrostop® glass and provides a barrier to radiant heat. Fireframes ClearView System complements the non-rated butt-glazed systems used throughout the building for uninterrupted views and light transmission.
