Applications of Fire Rated Glass

There are countless applications for fire-rated glass, which could make these materials a versatile, valuable, and excellent option for many properties. As such, if you have been looking for a material that can offer numerous benefits, considering fire rated glass is definitely a worthwhile option.

Exterior Windows
Fire rated glass is a highly popular choice for people who’ve been looking for a professional, versatile material for their properties – however, it does so much more than just offer a fire safe solution. Indeed, fire rated glass is still a brilliant material for allowing light into your home; as a result, if you need a top-quality option for your windows, fire rated glass is worth considering.

Internal Dividers
A growing number of properties feature internal dividers throughout, and this is well worth considering as part of your decision. Internal dividers, such as windows or glass panels, are an excellent way to separate different rooms; this makes them incredibly popular options for individuals wanting a simple, reliable, and professional solution.
However, before investing in internal dividers, make sure that the property still has good access to prevent people from getting trapped in the event of a fire.

Internal Doors
Perhaps the most obvious use for fire rated glass is for internal doors, which can actually be an incredibly effective way of slowing the spread of fire throughout a property.
In many cases, internal doors made with fire rated glass (and other non-flammable materials) can simultaneously offer a stunning solution while also ensuring that your property’s glass panels are up to the job of holding back flames.

So, if you find yourself in the scenario of a fire breaking out on your property, but you don’t know where to turn (or how), fire rated glass might suit perfectly. However, it’s still worth checking whether your property’s internal doors are suitable for fire rated glass, as not all will be. Just because a door uses fire rated glass doesn’t necessarily mean it’s fire safe in its own right.

How Much Does Fire Rated Glass Cost?

Due to the higher testing requirements and manufacturing processes needed to create fire rated glass, it’s typically a more expensive material than regular glass alone. As such, if you have been looking at getting fire rated glass, you’ll need to set aside a higher budget than for regular glass.

As standard, fire rated glass will come with a higher price tag of around $30 or more per square meter, depending on the thickness of the glass and other such factors. As a result, if you have been looking to invest, make sure you set aside plenty to ensure you’re making a suitable budget for the project.

Of course, every project is unique, so this will vary the final cost of your fire rated glass. Therefore, don’t hesitate to get in touch with a friendly expert team such as ours here at Yuanda Glass to find out more about the benefits and value of fire rated glass.
