Fire resistive, technically advanced glazing product

SuperLite ll-XL 45 is a fire resistive, technically advanced glazing product that blocks radiant heat transfer to meet ASTM E119 requirements. SAFTI FIRST was the first to provide this new technology to the USA in 1982. SuperLite ll-XL products have been tested to the stringent wall standard and therefore are considered a "transparent wall." Fire resistive glazing allows for greater design flexibility while other fire protective glazing products, such as ceramics, are limited by code to interior applications of 45 minutes or less and to 25% of the wall area.

SuperLite ll-XL, when used with an equally rated heat barrier framing system such as SAFTIfire GPX, provides floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall design flexibility with unsurpassed clarity and the added benefit of sound reduction. These products provide the maximum life safety and property protection with unlimited design freedom. SuperLite ll-XL products may be customized to meet bullet, blast and hurricane resistance, as well as enhanced energy performance.

SuperLite ll-XL Product Features
• Meets all fire code and testing requirements and therefore is not subject to any limitations other than the use of proper framing and lite sizes.
• Acoustical barrier with high STC ratings.
• Glass unit tempered to meet the highest federal impact safety standard CPSC16CFR 1201 Cat. II, which requires withstanding 400 ft. lbs. of impact.
• Available in virtually any custom architectural make-up: laminated, insulated, tinted, patterned, frosted, mirrored, reflective, curved, segmented, decorative, and more.
• SuperLite ll-XL technology is the basis for specialty features such as bullet, blast, attack, or hurricane resistance, and enhanced acoustical and energy performance.
• Positive Pressure fire rated.
• 1/2"-3/4" thin profile.
• USA manufactured for fast delivery.
