Fireproof Glazing: Containing Catastrophe Through Advanced Engineering
The Grenfell Tower tragedy (72 fatalities) exposed how conventional glazing fails at ~120°C – allowing rapid fire spread. KFORTS’ fire-rated glass doors, certified to EN 13501-2 EI 120, withstand 1,200°C for 120+ minutes, compartmentalizing flames and smoke. Our fire-resistant systems meet EN 1364-1 furnace testing protocols and EN 357 integrity standards.
During the 2022 Dresden hospital fire, our fireproof glass partitions:Contaminated flames in the ICU wing for 94 minutesMaintained ambient surface temperatures below 140°C (EN 1363-1 requirement)Enabled safe evacuation of 200+ patients
KFORTS’ fire-rated technology leverages:Ceramic gel interlayers expanding at 150°C to seal gapsBorosilicate glass layers resisting thermal shockDual-function burglar-resistant/fireproof options (RC2 + EI60 certified)For high-rises and public venues, our glass curtain walls achieve fire resistance Class EW 60-120 per EN 13501-2, while glass façades integrate seamlessly with sprinkler systems. The 2023 retrofit of London’s Camden Market utilized our EI 90-rated glass partitions – now considered a European fire-safety benchmark.
