Fire protective glazing materials are not a barrier to radiant or conducted heat. Fire protective products do not meet the heat resistance requirements of ASTM E119/UL 263. Use in fire-rated openings is limited to approved sizes. Use in architectural window openings with fire ratings of 60 minutes or greater may require approval from local building authorities.
20 Minute Fire-Protective Glass: When used within size limitations, 20 minute fire protective glass is approved for use in commercial window and door assemblies. Fire-protective glass is not a barrier to radiant heat.
45 Minute Fire-Protective Glass: When used within size limitations, 45 minute fire protective glass is approved for use in commercial window and door assemblies. Fire-protective glass is not a barrier to radiant heat.
60 Minute Fire-Protective Glass: When used within size limitations, 60 minute fire protective glass is approved for use in commercial window and door assemblies. Fire-protective glass is not a barrier to radiant heat.

Human-Impact Safety Glass: Human-Impact safety glass is designed for use in commercial buildings where incidental impact may occur.
Safety-Filmed Wire Glass: Safety-filmed wire glass is produced by fusing safety film to the wire-embedded glass. This process strengthens the glass, makes it more resistant to impact, and allows the glass to remain intact when exposed to fire for a specific period of time.
Fire-Protective Glass: Fire-rated glass is required in commercial fire-rated door and window applications. Fire rated glass is resistant to human impact and withstands smoke and flames for a specified period of time.
