PYROSWISS
PYROSWISS is the original clear, fire-resistant glass technology with full safety glass characteristics. This highly tempered safety glass features a special edge treatment designed to withstand high thermal stress. This prevents early breakage due to fire, keeping the affected area sealed. Free from UV-sensitive interlayers or embedded wires, PYROSWISS provides high transparency and light transmission, offering design freedom for interior and exterior applications.

Performances
In the event of a fire, PYROSWISS provides an effective barrier against the passage of fire, hot toxic gases, and smoke. By remaining transparent and fully intact, the glass helps allow building occupants to safely escape and rescue service providers to see danger ahead. This accessibility helps first responders more rapidly extinguish fires and evacuate occupants.

Applications
PYROSWISS can be used in both interior and exterior areas. Various systems have been tested for use in both vertical and sloped glazing. In Austria, for example, PYROSWISS PARAPET has been tested and shown to have a very good resistance to fire (Class B or C fire ratings, depending on the specific mock-up) in “French balcony” applications to prevent exterior fire spread from floor-to-floor
A dedicated project assessment would be needed to determine the right solution for your specific project requirements. For more information, please contact us.
