Fire Rated Glazing: Compartmentation Saves Lives

2026-09-16

Fire compartmentation is non-negotiable in modern European architecture. KFORTS’ fire rated glazing achieves EI30-EI120 certifications under EN 13501-2, creating critical barriers in glass partitions, glass doors, and curtain walls. During the 2023 Rotterdam high-rise fire, our EI60 glass windows contained flames for 60+ minutes, enabling safe evacuation.

True fire resistance requires dual performance: integrity (E) to block flames/smoke and insulation (I) to limit heat transfer. Unlike wired glass, KFORTS’ fireproof ceramic glazing maintains <140°C unexposed surface temperatures. Our fire resistant systems integrate intumescent seals that expand at 120°C, sealing gaps per EN 1364-3.

For atria and escape routes, our glass curtain walls provide EI30 compartmentation without aesthetic compromise. In the 2024 Milan hospital retrofit, KFORTS’ transparent glass partitions met both fire safety (EN 1363-1) and hygiene standards. Trust 20+ years of expertise to protect lives with certified passive fire solutions.
