About Fire Resistant Glass
Growing emphasis on improving the fire safety standards of the commercial as well as residential infrastructure is projected to have a positive impact on the global fire resistance glass industry. Fire resistant glass is called as safety glass mainly used for protection from fire, smoke, and heat. Fire resistance glass is used at various places where building regulations stipulate a specific level of fire resistance and where the people demand natural light and clear visibility such as hospitals, hotels, restaurants, office buildings, computer rooms, schools, stores, shopping centers, airports, industrial buildings, warehouses, and laboratories.

In October 2021, Gentex Corporation announced the acquisition of a unique laminating technology that yields durable, lightweight, ultra-thin glass engineered for aircraft cabin partitions, mirrors and wood veneer applications. The new laminating technology and related patents were included in Gentex’s 2020 acquisition of Air-Craftglass, a Belgium-based startup that was founded to develop glass solutions for private and commercial aircraft. The company ultimately developed a lightweight, chemically strengthened, thin-glass laminate that offers significant improvements over polycarbonate structures, including superior noise reduction, durability, UV resistance, antibacterial performance, and flame/smoke resistance.
In December 2021, Solatube International Inc., the world’s-leading manufacturer, and marketer of tubular daylighting devices (TDDs) announced the launch of a new commercial and residential product innovation designed to meet the increasing Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zone code requirements across the United States. Featuring a multi-pane glass disk with a steel ring, the new Solatube Rooftop Fire Glazing accessory meets strict ANSI Z97.1 safety glazing requirements to deliver a flame-resistant tubular skylight.
BS EN 1363 covers fire testing standards. All manufacturers should test their glass in accordance with this standard, to comply with UK regulations and the European requirement for CE marking. BS EN 13501-2 defines the classifications of E, EW, and EI fire glass. In some European countries, radiation control glass (EW) is the minimum standard for fire protection glass, but the UK Building Regulations do not yet acknowledge it, although it may be specified for certain applications. In some European countries, the use of integrity-only glass (E) is restricted because it is considered less safe.
Key Target Audience
Regional Manufacturer Associations and General Fire Resistant Glass Associations, Raw Material Manufacturers, Traders, Distributors, and Suppliers of Fire-Resistant Glass, Research Institutes and Organizations, Market Research and Consulting Firms, Government Bodies, Venture Capitalists, and Private Equity Firms and Other
