Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™ offers nonwired Pyroguard clear safety glass and polished wired glass for fire-rated glazing applications.
- 20-minute (no hose stream) fire-rated openings
- Door lites, sidelites, transom lites and borrowed lites
- Fire-rated openings that are exempt (by code) from impact standards
- Door lites, sidelites and transom lites
Pyroguard clear fire-rated safety glass is available as a (nominal) 5/16" clear annealed laminated glass product. It is made of two lites of 1/8" (3 mm) annealed clear float glass filled with a proprietary fire-resisting resin that provides fire and safety features without the use of wires. It is considered to have the same bending strength of annealed monolithic glass of the same size and thickness.
- Glass Lites: Two lites of clear annealed float glass.
- Interlayer: Proprietary fire resistant resin requires no wires.
Pyroguard clear fire-rated safety glass can be used in 20-minute (no hose stream), fire-rated applications, up to the maximum sizes indicated in Size Requirement/Test Data. Polished wired glass can be used in 20- to 90-minute, fire-rated applications, up to the maximum sizes indicated in Size Requirement/Test Data. In safety glazing applications, Pyroguard clear fire-rated safety glass can be used in sizes up to 9 square feet (16 CFR 1201, Category I). Polished wired glass does not meet the safety glazing requirements of 16 CFR 1201.
Pyroguard clear glass is ideal for applications in 20-minute (no hose stream) fire-rated openings that are subject to safety and impact resistance requirements. Pyroguard clear glass applications include door lites, sidelites, transom lites and borrowed lites requiring fire-rated safety glazing material. Polished wired glass is ideal for applications in fire-rated openings that are exempt (by code) from certain safety and impact resistance requirements. Polished wired glass applications include door lites, sidelites and transom lites requiring fire-rated glazing material.
Pyroguard clear fire-rated safety glass meets the requirements of ANSI Z97.1-1984 as well as the impact requirements of CPSC 16 CFR 1201, Category I.
Polished wired glass meets the requirements of ANSI Z97.1-1984, but not the impact requirements of CPSC 16 CFR 1201.
Both Pyroguard clear and polished wired glass are classified as fire-resistant glazing materials by Underwriter Laboratories and Intertek Warnock Hersey.
