Life-Safety Glass for Critical Zones

Fire-rated glass is used wherever fire-resistance ratings are mandated for walls, doors, windows, or partitions. It’s a must in:

Exit corridors and stairwells
Elevator lobbies and vestibules
Institutional and government facilities
Schools, hospitals, and healthcare centres
Commercial kitchens and high-risk zones

We supply fire-rated products that meet CAN/ULC-S104, ASTM E119, and OBC requirements.

Key Benefits
