Fire-resistive glass for skylights

Skylights providing unprecedented fire resistance

Sloped glazing that meet the highest fire resistance classifications

Introduction

Compared to conventional roofing systems, skylights provide the advantage of bringing natural daylight into interior spaces. This gives architects greater design freedom and also translates to increased comfort and well-being for building occupants. Vetrotech’s fire-resistant glass for sloped glazing combine fire safety advantages with the comfort and well-being of building occupants. Depending on your specific project requirements, our glazing solutions can be equipped with additional customization features, such as energy-efficient coatings, thermal insulation, bullet and blast resistance, and more.

 

Performance

Fire-resistive glass in a skylight prevents the spread of fire to neighbouring structures. Our products are rated fire-resistive for up to 90 minutes, effectively stopping heat transmission for that period of time. 

All our glazing solutions are tested and certified according to North American Standards and go beyond standard glass functionality to provide building owners and life safety consultants with peace of mind and uncompromised safety. 

Customization

All characteristics described above are examples. All our products and systems can be customised to your specific needs. Vetrotech supports you in design-assisting your projects according to your requirements and even further.
