FIRE SAFETY, OUR FIRST RESPONSIBILITY

Fire at sea. You hope and trust it’ll never happen. It’s an ongoing concern for professionals within the marine business and ship owners - and that’s the way it should be. Just how safe can you make a ship? How much care can you take of passengers and crew? Our multi-functional fire-resistant glass is used worldwide to ensure safety. It buys extra time for all persons on board to abandon ship safely and professionally. It works and it has been proven to work. At Vetrotech we have the knowledge and competencies. We can’t banish fire, but nightmare prevention is our speciality.

Fire-safety is not the only factor
Designing and building a ship is a dynamic, complex task. Design, comfort and safety are inextricably linked. Safety and fire-safety above all, is the speciality at Vetrotech Saint-Gobain. But we go farther than that. We can add Properties to our glass that go way beyond resisting fire. Our fire-resistant glass can provide privacy at any desired moment, it becomes opaque by means of an electrical signal. It can be crystal-clear for an unequalled outlook or coloured for special design effects. Our fire-resistant glass can serve as a floor-to-ceiling partition, ideal for shopping or promenade areas.

Efficiency also plays a significant role.
Our fire-resistant glass can be selfcleaning as well. Your first savings are on operational costs. It can be heat-resistant and provide protection from UV radiation and thereby facilitate better climate control. We can even put extra safety in our glass, so it is able to protect against the risks of armed aggression: savings on risk premiums.
