| PYRAN® S Butt Joint System is now available for 60 minutes integrity  SCHOTT’s fire resistant glass is specifically manufactured to meet the requirements of modern architecture and to comply with safety regulations. The PYRAN® S Butt Joint System gives you the freedom to eliminate mullions and exploit the clean look of glass to maximum effect. Architects and building owners welcomed the introduction of a fire rated butt joint glazing system by SCHOTT several years ago, to provide 30 minutes integrity. In recent times there has been increasing demand to offer longer periods of fire resistance. SCHOTT is now pleased to announce that the PYRAN® S Butt Joint System has been successfully tested and is now available to provide 60 minutes integrity.The PYRAN® S Butt Joint System for 60 minutes integrity (E60) consists of monolithic PYRAN® S sheets connected by a thin intumescent joint from Gluske. The glazing is contained in a slim steel perimeter frame which is securely fixed to the structure. The maximum tested height of 2600mm allows a continuous run of fire resistant glazing without mullions in interior applications e.g. partition walls in sports stadia, shopping centres, leisure centres, prestige buildings, museum, schools and hospitals. The specific properties of the thermally toughened borosilicate PYRAN® S glass and the intumescent compliment each other to produce this unique 60 minutes integrity butt-joint system. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
