Fireproofing your home with fire-rated glass is an essential part of creating a fireproof environment in your home. When properly installed, fireproofing your home with fire-rated glass will significantly reduce the amount of time between your first fire or burning and your next incident, and between subsequent fires. The cost and time savings of fireproofing your home with fire-rated glass far outweighs the money and time spent on having to purchase new fireproofing products.
There are several products available to protect your home from fires including, fireproof window panes, fire rated window frames, and fire doors. These products are usually made out of fire-resistant glass or they are made entirely out of fireproof glass. The benefit to fire-rated glass and fireproofing your home with it is that the glass or fireproofing material creates a barrier between the interior of your home (the interior of your home being the fire) and whatever causes the fire within the house.
Using fire-rated glazing and a fire-rated frame you can have the best of both worlds. The glass or fireproofing material is installed by professional fireproofing contractors in one day. Then the glass or fireproofing material (usually both) is installed by certified glaziers using a state-of-the-art fire hose stream test. After the installation process is completed, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that your home and everything in it are protected.
