Types of Fire Rated Glass
1. Fire‑Rated Wired Glass
​
This is traditional fire‑resistant glass with a metal wire mesh embedded inside the pane.
-
The wire helps hold the glass together under heat so it doesn’t fall out of the frame.
-
Common in older commercial buildings and vision panels.
-
Often paired with safety film because bare wired glass has low impact resistance.
2. Laminated Fire‑Rated Glass
Layers of glass bonded together with special silicate interlayers form a fire‑resistant laminate.
-
Offers both fire resistance and good safety/impact performance.
-
Can be used in doors, partitions, and large glazed areas.
-
Performs well when rated for both fire and radiant heat.
3. Fire‑Rated Ceramic Glass
Made with clear ceramic materials that resist extreme heat.
-
Looks much like regular clear glass but can withstand higher temperatures and thermal shock.
-
Can be used in doors, sidelites, partitions, and storefronts.
-
Many modern fire‑rated systems rely on this type because it’s clearer and stronger than wired glass.
4. Clear Fire‑Rated Glass Panels
Thicker multi‑layered fire‑rated glass panels are used as vision panels and partitions
-
Can be used where lots of natural light or visibility is needed while still providing fire resistance.
-
Often installed in modern commercial spaces like offices and schools.
-
Available in different fire ratings (e.g., 20min, 45min, 60min, 90min).
