When architectural safety meets design aesthetics, compromise is never the best answer. Today, with increasingly strict global building codes, traditional firewalls not only block fire but also block light and vision. Ordinary glass, however, is vulnerable in the face of fierce flames. Fire rated glass for 1 hour (60 minutes),1.5 hours (90 minutes), and 2 hours (120 minutes) - these three core protection grades are becoming the smart choice for balancing safety and design in modern buildings with their precise fire resistance, excellent heat insulation performance, and transparent visual experience, meeting the protection needs of different critical areas.

The value of fire-resistant glass lies in its precise correspondence with the risk levels and regulatory requirements of different Spaces (conforming to international mainstream standards such as UL, EN, and GB). The following are typical application scenarios of fireproof glass for 1 to 2 hours:

60-minutes (1-hour) fire-resistant glass: A basic barrier, safeguarding daily safety

• Fire compartment partitions in office Spaces: They are used to divide large open office areas, ensuring a sense of transparency and natural lighting while meeting the basic requirements of building codes for fire compartments and controlling the initial spread of fire.

• Hotel room corridor side walls/interior zoning: Replace heavy solid walls, enhance the brightness and spatial quality of the corridor, and ensure the primary protection of the room evacuation path; An elegant separation of the living room and the bedroom within the suite.

• Interior store partitions/atrium guardrails in commercial Spaces (shopping centers/exhibition halls) : In an open commercial environment, they are used to divide tenant areas or enclose atriums, taking into account both safety isolation and visual continuity, and enhancing the customer experience.

• Low-risk equipment room/pipe well observation window: Facilitates daily equipment inspection and monitoring, effectively isolating potential risks such as small electrical fire sources.

90-minutes (1.5-hours) fire-resistant glass: Enhanced protection against higher risks

• Hospital ward corridors and clean area partitions: In medical environments with strict hygiene and safety requirements, they provide higher-level fire protection and visual monitoring.

• Important sections within laboratories and data centers: Protecting high-value equipment and data, and isolating potential fire sources (such as electrical rooms).

• High-rise residential core tube/refuge corridor enclosure: Ensuring the safety and visibility of vertical evacuation passages.

• Fire compartments in school teaching buildings/corridor partition walls: Enhance the safety level of densely populated areas.

120-minutes (2-hours) fire-resistant glass: Strengthening the defense line and safeguarding the life-saving passage

• The core tube/refuge corridor enclosure structure of high-rise buildings: It ensures the key safety areas of vertical evacuation passages (stairwells, refuge corridors) for personnel, provides sufficient escape time, and maintains the visibility of the passage and psychological security.

• Hospital ward corridors, ICU/ operating room buffer zone partitions: In a life-first medical environment, they provide higher-level fire isolation for critical areas, while meeting strict hygiene requirements and visual monitoring needs.

• Partition walls in the corridors of school teaching buildings/zoning of key laboratories: Protect students and staff in crowded places and isolate high-risk areas such as laboratories.

• Important partitions inside data centers/communication rooms: Protecting core IT equipment and data assets, and preventing the spread of fire in key areas within the room.

• Partitions for precious collection areas in special places (libraries, archives) : Provide longer fire protection for irreplaceable cultural heritage.
