Fire-Containment Glazing: The New European Safety Standard

The 2024 Milan residential tower fire - where flames spread 12 floors in 22 minutes - highlights catastrophic compartmentalization failure. KFORTS' fire-rated glass doors, certified to EN 13501-2 EI 120, withstand 1,250°C for 120+ minutes through proprietary technology:

Fireproof engineering incorporates:
Ceramic intumescent interlayers activating at 140°C
Borosilicate outer layers (compliant with EN 357)
Perimeter seals exceeding EN 1364-1 requirements
During Oslo's 2023 hospital incident:
→ Our fire-resistant glass partitions contained ICU flames for 101 minutes
→ Non-fire surface temperatures remained ≤142°C
→ Enabled evacuation of 283 patients

KFORTS' multi-hazard systems deliver:
Dual-certified façades (RC4 + EI90 per EN 13501-2)
Ballistic-fire rated curtain walls (BR5 + EI90)
Smoke-sealing partitions (EN 1366-3 compliant)

The Copenhagen Opera House renovation features our fireproof glass curtain wall providing:
✓ 120-minute compartmentalization (EI 120)
✓ 45% weight reduction versus traditional barriers
✓ BIM Level 3 integration for facility management
Post-Grenfell EU regulations mandate fire-rated solutions combining:
• EN 1363-1 furnace compliance
• EN 1634-1 smoke control certification
• EN 13501-2 classification

With 20+ years of expertise, KFORTS ensures glass façades and partitions meet evolving safety mandates while preserving architectural vision.
