Fire-resistant glass is a specialized safety glass manufactured to withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of flames, smoke, and heat during a fire. Often found in exterior walls, doors, partitions, windows, and facades of buildings, it is transparent, allowing adequate visibility and satisfactory natural light in the building. At the same time, it also makes the system compliant with fire safety norms. Fire-rated glass, based on its rating, can resist fire for 30, 60, 90, or even 120 minutes. This allows ample time for evacuation and rescue operations. It is often laminated or coated with fire-resistant interlayers and is tested to BS and International Standards. Fire-rated glass is often required in commercial buildings, educational institutions, clinics and hospitals, and public spaces for passive fire protection.
