Fireproof Glazing: Preventing Catastrophes with KFORTS' Advanced Solutions

The Grenfell Tower tragedy in 2017 exposed the deadly consequences of inadequate fire protection in buildings. KFORTS' fire-rated glass doors and partitions, compliant with EN 13501-2 (Fire Classification), are engineered to prevent such disasters. Our fire-resistant glazing withstands temperatures exceeding 1,000°C, maintaining integrity for up to 120 minutes (EI 60 EI 120 EI240 rating).

In 2021, a hospital in Berlin equipped with KFORTS' fireproof glass windows successfully contained a fire outbreak, preventing smoke spread and enabling safe evacuation. Unlike traditional glass, which fails within minutes, our fire-rated systems use intumescent interlayers that expand under heat, sealing off flames and toxic fumes.

KFORTS' glass façades and partitions also meet EN 357 (Fire-Resistant Glass), offering dual protection when combined with burglar-resistant properties. For schools, hospitals, and high-rise buildings, our solutions provide crucial time for emergency response, potentially saving lives.
With two decades of innovation, KFORTS continues to set the standard in security glazing, delivering products that are as reliable as they are aesthetically versatile.
