The World's First Butt-jointed Fire Glazing System

 
Huddersfield FC

  Benefits
  • Fully-glazed partition walls.
  • Unlimited runs of fire safety glass.
  • No mullions or heavy frames.
  Features

The butt-jointed system has a 30 minute fire integrity rating (BS 476) using panels in any size up to 3 by 1.6 meters. For longer periods please contact Sealmaster's Technical Department. Unlimited runs can be fixed into untreated timber (or steel) perimeter frame. Quick and easy to install, the FireGlaze Compound and G30 bead strip are water-based and erosion-resistant. They contain no toxic or hazardous materials. Upon activation under the heat of fire, a very high bond strength is produced - without generating noxious fumes or smoke.

  Options

Panels of Pyran S can be faceted to emphasise building lines. The glass may be clear or etched for varied levels of obscurity and smoked or tinted alternatives are available in double glazed units. FireGlaze Compound is available in grey, white, light oak and brown colours for a seamless match with glass and perimeter frame.

  Components

The butt-joints are pointed with 6mm beads of FireGlaze Compound. These may be covered with an optional 25 x 3mm trim. Sealmaster self-adhesive G30 bead strip (white) is used around the perimeter frame, between the beads and glass. Alternatively, FireGlaze Compound (white, grey, light oak or brown) may be used.

  Test Evidence
