Applications
Class E fire rated borosilicate glass 4.0 can be applied for residential and commercial buildings and constructions where fire protections are concerned
Windows
It becomes more and more popular to use borosilicate glass 4.0 as windows. It stops flames, fumes and hot gases from spreading to neighboring buildings and upper floors. Fire safety borosilicate glass 4.0 windows protect life and properties especially for high skyscrapers. Class E fire protection glass window panes prevent flames, fire, fumes and smoke from spreading upwards to upper storeys where fire fighting is difficult. Class E fire resistant 4.0 borosilicate glass can also be applied for windows installed in atriums, lobbies or halls inside public construction such as shopping arcades, conference centers, airports terminals and hotels.
Doors
Fire resistant 4.0 borosilicate glass doors stops fumes, toxic gases and flames. They are widely used in hallway doors, stairways and staircases doors, fire-escape access, HVAC doors and access of server data centres and surveillance centers . Spring loaded assembly fixtures are usually installed to the borosilicate glass 4.0 door ensuring the doors are always in close status. The complete door is made of fire resistant 4.0 borosilicate glass enclosed with fire resistant frameworks. Alternatively, a small piece of borosilicate 4.0 glass, acting as sight observation glass window, can be installed at eye level on a fire resistant door made of materials other than glass.
Partitions
Borosilicate monolithic glass 4.0 is very suitable to apply in partitions. While providing visible environment, borosilicate glass 4.0 partitions is also heat barriers to stops flames, fumes and hot gases from spreading to neighboring spaces and rooms. It gains more time to determine how to response to the fire accidents.
Elevators
Fire resistant borosilicate glass 4.0 stops flames, fumes and hot gases from spreading to neighboring spaces and buildings.
Skylights & Roofs
Borosilicate glass panes prevents fire, hot gases and smoke from spreading vertically when it is used as skylights and rooflights.
Smoke Screens
Single pane monolithic borosilicate glass 4.0 is the best option to use for smoke screens. Thanks to its light weight and thin structure, it is very easy to install on the ceiling. Borosilicate glass smoke screen slows down the spreading of fumes, smokes, toxic and hot gases. Meanwhile, the high transparency monolithic borosilicate glass does not affect visibility and provides clear vision especially in wide open areas when the glazing is in standby.
Floorings
Glass flooring is becoming more and more popular. If necessary, borosilicate glass 4.0 can be used for flooring by tempering and laminating into multi-layers heavy duty loading, scratch and slip resistant glazing. It prevents fire, hot gases and smoke from spreading vertically.
Façades
Borosilicate glass 4.0 can be used for façades glazing of conference and exhibition centers, lobby of hotels and air ports terminals where there are massive crowds. Glass panes are connected one after another, vertically and horizontally, by tiny point mounts and brackets. The structure is very strong and secures the glass wall in positions free of tension. It can withstands wind and suction loads.
