Ceilings are undoubtedly one of the most difficult challenges which the manufacturer of fire resistant glass faces. This is due to the fact that glass used in ceilings has, in an incident of fire, to endure in extreme conditions, while bearing loads. At the same time, the market demand for this product is huge.
POLFLAM F glass has a load-bearing capacity of up to 5 kN / m2. It is available in three fire resistance classes: REI 30, 45 and 60. Therefore, in the event of fire, it ensures complete safety of evacuation within the time limit required by law – 30, 45 or 60 min.
In modern architecture, designers eagerly reach for solutions that provide optical lightness, such as glass walls. Fire resistance is often required. POLFLAM BR glass is developed for creating fire-resistant glazing of large surface, without vertical profiles connecting individual wall modules.
Glass elevations are a determinant of contemporary architectural designs. Façade glazing is, however, quite a challenge, because in addition to all the aesthetic advantages, they must be characterized by parameters that allow obtaining the most advantageous energy balance of the building. Architects' expectations regarding the properties of facade glass are still growing.
Fire-resistant glazings are more and more often replacing ordinary, heavy walls which comply with the required fire resistance and allow providing the interiors with the desired lightness and transparency. POLFLAM® glass gives more options. Its large-size glass panels are just the beginning, as they can be a perfect background for manipulating the image, light and colour.
Modern technology sets architects free to apply their visions of buildings filled with light. Glazed elements to bear load in an incident of fire have long been a challenge. Therefore, POLFLAM® F fire resistan glass has been designed for such demanding applications.
