Introduction To Fire Resistant Glass
Embracing the enduring trend of integrating glass into both internal and external applications not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of buildings but also fosters a seamless connection with the surrounding environment. However, the use of glazed partitions necessitates adherence to stringent fire safety regulations, ensuring both flame retardation and the safe evacuation of building occupants in the event of a fire. This imperative is often addressed through the implementation of fire-resistant glass.
At Euroview Architectural Glass, we proudly offer PYROGUARD & PYROSTOP fire-resistant glass, meticulously crafted by Pilkington and Pyroguard. Comprising multiple layers of glass interconnected by gel intermediate layers, this advanced technology reacts under high temperatures, forming a rigid, opaque barrier that temporarily halts the spread of fire.
By combining PYROGUARD and PYROSTOP glass with laminated, colored, reflective, and low-emissivity glass options, we provide a diverse array of fire-resistant glass panels that serve multiple functions, including protection against intrusion, noise reduction, thermal insulation, and light control. Our streamlined manufacturing process ensures swift turnaround times, allowing for prompt delivery of fire-resistant products tailored to your project needs.
Transforming fire-resistant glass into insulated glass units demands precision and expertise to safeguard against degradation of fire-resistant properties. Specialised manufacturing techniques, such as protecting glass edges from contact with bonding agents using aluminum foil, are imperative to preserve the integrity of the fire-resistant barrier. Similarly, meticulous installation procedures are essential to prevent damage to the protective layers, which could compromise fire resistance and impede evacuation efforts.
Clients are informed of stringent criteria set forth by glass manufacturers to ensure proper application and maintenance of fire-resistant glass. While our team ensures adherence to these standards during manufacturing, responsibility for maintaining fire-resistant properties post-installation lies with the client. Proactive measures, including UV protection for exposed glass surfaces, are recommended to mitigate potential degradation over time.

Enhanced Safety
Fire-resistant glass provides a crucial barrier against the spread of fire, helping to contain flames and smoke within designated areas. This enhances safety by allowing occupants more time to evacuate buildings in the event of a fire.
Regulatory Compliance
Installation of fire-resistant glass often helps buildings comply with fire safety regulations and codes, ensuring that they meet required standards for occupancy and construction.
Protection of Property:
By resisting the passage of flames and heat, fire-resistant glass helps protect valuable assets and property from fire damage. This can minimize financial losses and ensure business continuity.
Installation and Maintenance
Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for ensuring the effectiveness of fire-resistant IGUs. They should be installed according to manufacturer specifications and inspected regularly to detect any damage or degradation that could compromise their fire resistance.

Fire Resistant Glass Types
At Euroview Architectural Glass, We offer a wide range of fire resistant glass manufactured into our IGU’s with various options of IGU including double and triple glaze, as well as structural and spandrel units.
Tried, Tested & Trusted fire protection against heat, flames and hot gases. The Pilkington Pyrostop® Range is a clear, laminated fully insulating fire-protection and impact-resistant glass. Offering the highest levels of fire protection (integrity and insulation), maximising the available levels of natural light and visibility. Depending on the thickness, it provides impact protection up to Class 1 of BS EN 12600.
Pilkington Pyrostop® is the product to use wherever a complete, physically robust fire protection shield is desired in combination with the high quality through vision and high quality natural lighting typical of normal glazing. The thicker products within the range are based uniquely on Pilkington Optiwhite™high light transmission glass.
In the event of fire Pilkington Pyrostop® turns opaque providing both the integrity requirements of a barrier to hot gases and flames, as well as very effective insulation from the heat of a blaze. As such, Pilkington Pyrostop® complies with the very precise temperature criteria defined in European test standards and ISO test standards.
Using the same technology as Pilkington Pyrostop®, Pilkington Pyrodur® is tried and tested against fire and hot gases.
Pilkington Pyrodur® is widely used and specified in a range of softwood and hardwood timber. Offering up to 60 mins integrity, Pilkington Pyrodur® can combine impact resistance (BS EN 12600) up to Class 1(B)1 and penetration resistance (BS EN 356) to classification P(1)A , which is a requirement in Approved Document Q and recommended in Secured by Design.
In the event of fire, Pilkington Pyrodur® turns opaque providing both the integrity requirements of a barrier to hot gases and flames. As such, Pilkington Pyrodur® complies with British, European and ISO test standards.
