Vetrotech Fire-rated glass, fire doors, and fire-rated partitions are critical components of building safety and are designed to contain and resist the spread of fire, smoke, and heat in the event of a fire emergency. Here’s an overview of each of these elements:

1. Fire-Rated Glass:

Fire-rated glass, often referred to as fire-resistant or fire-rated glazing, is specially designed to withstand exposure to fire for a specified period while maintaining its integrity. It is used in various building applications to provide visibility and transparency while also acting as a fire barrier. Key features of fire-rated glass include:

• Fire Ratings: Fire-rated glass is classified based on its ability to resist fire. Common ratings include 20, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes, indicating the duration of fire resistance.
• Integrity and Insulation: Fire-rated glass maintains its integrity (prevents flames and hot gases from passing through) and provides insulation (limits heat transfer) during a fire.
• Applications: It is used in fire-rated windows, doors, and partitions in buildings, especially in areas where visibility is essential, such as corridors, stairwells, and fire-rated glazing panels in doors.
