Performances

With outstanding safety and performance in one package, the VDS Framing System offers the highest level of fire resistance available today. Specially engineered with fire and life safety-rated glazing products in accordance with the International Building Code (IBC) to serve (in conjunction/in unison/in place) with firewalls and fire barriers in occupancy separation, egress corridors, and stairwell enclosures. Vetrotech fire-resistive assemblies are hose stream tested. Available in fire ratings ranging from 60 minutes to three hours, the VDS Framing System is tested and listed with Intertek Testing Services (Warnock Hersey) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and tested in accordance with ASTM E-119, ASTM E2074-00, ASTM E2010-
01, NFPA 80, NFPA 251, NFPA 252, NFPA 257, UL9, UL10c, and UL263.

The pre-engineered assembly or ease of installation of the VDS Framing System renders it the optimal choice for glaziers. VDS full vision lite doors seamlessly incorporate into the VDS Framing System and are available in ratings ranging from 60 to 120 minutes, offering expansive glass panels for enhanced visibility and aesthetic appeal. The modular system is delivered to the construction site fully assembled, reducing on-site assembly. Customers have the option to specify either welded or knock-down assembly, based on their individual preferences. Furthermore, the VDS Framing System has the capacity to accommodate “rated doors by others" allowing specifiers to incorporate any standard U.S. fire-rated door.
