Fire Glass & X-Ray Glass
Fire-Resistant Glass Solutions
At Donegal Glass and Glazing Manufacturing, we specialize in producing and fitting a wide range of fire-resistant glass solutions that meet stringent safety standards. Our fire-resistant glass is rigorously tested to withstand extreme temperatures, effectively resisting the passage of smoke, flames, and hot gases during a fire.
Classification and Rating
Our fire-resistant glass products are categorized and rated based on their ability to withstand fire for specific durations. These classifications range from 30 minutes up to 3 hours, ensuring reliable protection in various fire scenarios.
Testing and Performance
Ordinary flat glass is not designed to withstand high temperatures and breaks at around 120°C. In contrast, our fire-resistant glass can withstand temperatures of up to 870°C for a specified period while remaining intact within its frame. Our rigorous testing includes subjecting the glass to rapid cooling with water, simulating real-world scenarios to evaluate its performance under fire conditions.
Key Factors in Choosing Fire-Resistant Glass
When selecting fire-protection glass, three critical factors must be considered:
Type of Protection: Our glass offerings include Class E for protection against smoke and flames, while Class EI provides additional protection against heat radiation and fire spread.
Duration of Protection: Choose from durations ranging from 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the specific fire safety requirements of your space.
Frame Construction: Our fire-resistant glass is compatible with various frame constructions, including wood, aluminum, and steel, ensuring seamless integration into your building’s design.
