ARDOREX®
THE INSULATING GLASS FOR MORE SAFETY IN CASE OF FIRE
Conventional glazing hardly provides any fire resistance. In the event of a fire, fire-resistant glazing can save lives because it prevents fire from spreading from one section of a building to another. Escape routes and stairwells are thus protected from fire and smoke and allow people to leave buildings safely. Our ARDOREX® fire-resistant glass is an indispensable component of fire-resistant glazing, which not only consist of the glass but also of the frame construction as well as all fixings and connections. Fire-resistant glazing is only tested and approved in Germany in this complete form.
Function & properties:
In order to achieve the protective effect of fire-resistant glazing, a special construction of laminated or multi-pane insulating glass is necessary, using laminated glass of fire-resistant glass class F(EI) 30-120, with a transparent hydrogel layer in the space between the panes. If a fire occurs, the water in the gel evaporates and forms a heat-insulating, opaque layer. There is no splintering in the areas to be protected. ARDOREX® fire-resistant glazing is available in versions from 30 to 120 minutes, which means that it protects against fire, smoke and flashover for at least this period. Dangerous heat radiation can also prevented by fire-resistant glazing. Out fire protection glasses are UV-resistant without additional coating and UV-permeable for plants. It is combinable with other functional or decorative glasses and available as alarm glass.
Applications:
Fire protection glazing in windows, doors, partition walls, facades, overhead glazing
Glass type:
Available as laminated safety glass in the categories F(EI) 30, 60, 90 and 120, as insulating glass in the categories F(EI) 30, 60, 90.
