Fireproof Glazing: Lessons from the Grenfell Tower Tragedy
The Grenfell Tower disaster (2017) tragically demonstrated how conventional building materials can fail catasthetically in fire situations. KFORTS' fire-rated glass solutions, compliant with EN 13501-2 and EN 1363-1 standards, are designed to prevent such tragedies.
Our fireproof glass doors and partitions can withstand temperatures exceeding 1,000°C while maintaining their structural integrity for up to 120 minutes (EI60 EI120 EI240 rating). The intumescent interlayers in our fire-resistant glass windows expand when exposed to heat, creating an effective barrier against flames and smoke.
Key advantages of KFORTS' fire-rated systems:
• Meet EN 357 standards for fire-resistant glass
• Provide both integrity and insulation (EI classification)
• Can be combined with burglar-resistant properties
A hospital in Munich equipped with our glass curtain wall system successfully contained a 2021 kitchen fire, preventing smoke spread and allowing safe evacuation. Unlike traditional glazing that fails within minutes, our fireproof glass façade solutions provide crucial time for emergency response and occupant safety.
For architects and developers, KFORTS offers comprehensive protection solutions that address multiple threats while maintaining design flexibility. Our 20+ years of experience in security glazing ensures that every product meets the highest European standards for performance and reliability.
