This new addition to the CGI International stable of fire glasses provides a high quality, fully insulated fire glass, which can be cut from stock and supplied to meet the demanding needs of site programmes.

Fireswiss Foam is manufactured by a special laminating process which creates adjacent layers of glass and clear silicate built up to create a complete fire barrier to both the spread of FIRE and HEAT.

Depending on the overall glass thickness, fire performances of 30 minutes up to 60 minutes and beyond can be achieved in a wide range of suitable frame types.

A glazed fire resistant barrier meeting INTEGRITY and INSULATION standards must, in addition to stopping the breakthrough of fire and ignitable gases, limit the surface temperature of all elements of the barrier to an average temperature rise of 140°C or at any point to a temperature rise of 180°C.

PROPERTIES

For its basic 30, 45 and 60 minutes fire performances Fireswiss Foam is a multi-laminate of silicate and clear float glass layers, the number of reactive layers determining the fire performance as follows.

Due to the overall glass thickness and laminated construction it is necessary to saw-cut glasses to finished size; this can be carried out by CGI International or a specialist distributor partner.
