How does the required hose stream test work and why does it matter?>
What do I need to know about impact safety testing for fire-rated glazing?>
Can fire-rated glass pass any additional performance tests?>
TGP offers a wide range of fire-rated glass and framing products, including fire-protective and fire-resistive products for any fire-rated glazing application. These include options offering additional performance, including impact resistance, bullet resistance and hurricane resistance. All of our fire-rated products are UL classified and labeled, and pass the mandatory fire test, and most of them also pass the hose stream test and positive pressure tests that simulate air pressure increases during a fire.
Our products range from the FireLite® family of clear and wireless, fire-rated ceramics to Pilkington Pyrostop® transparent wall panels and Fireframes® family of fire-rated frames with various finishes, including stainless steel, wood and powder-coating in virtually any color.
