Fire resistant glazing – get it right!
19th April 2016

The GLASS AND GLAZING FEDERATION has published a new online video, ‘Fire Resistant Glazing - Getting It Right vs. Getting It Wrong’.

The video is available to view on the GGF website and visually shows the effects of why fire resistant glazing should be used and, just as importantly, why it should be installed correctly.

Fire-resistant glass has been designed to protect lives and prevent fire damage to property and should be an important part of any building where there is a fire safety risk. Getting the specification and installation right is critical.

Kevin Hulin, Chairman of the GGF Fire Resistant Glazing Group, said: “The new video clearly demonstrates the potentially catastrophic effect when normal glazing is used instead of fire resistant glazing as part of a building’s fire prevention strategy. Fire resistant glazing systems that have been fire tested and third party accredited, provide cost effective protection for people’s safety and for buildings in the event of a fire breaking out.”
