120 minutes fire rated glass (integrity and insulation) doors/windows/partitions/walls(EI120)
For environments demanding extended fire resistance, EI120 fire rated glass provides an exceptional two-hour barrier, ensuring both integrity and thermal insulation against fire, smoke, and hazardous heat.
What is EI120 Fire Rated Glass?
EI120 fire rated glass represents a high-performance glazing solution engineered for critical fire safety applications. The "EI" designation, in accordance with European standards like EN 13501-2, signifies its dual protective capabilities:
- ✓ Integrity (E): For a full 120 minutes, the glass maintains its structural integrity, effectively preventing the passage of flames and hot gases from the fire compartment to the non-fire side. This containment is vital for limiting fire spread.
- ✓ Insulation (I): Crucially, for 120 minutes, the glass significantly restricts the transfer of heat to the non-fire side. This thermal barrier protects occupants from intense radiant heat, allowing for extended evacuation times and preventing the spontaneous combustion of materials in adjacent areas.
Achieving this advanced level of insulation involves sophisticated multi-layered glass constructions, often incorporating specialized intumescent interlayers. These layers expand significantly when exposed to high temperatures, forming a robust, opaque foam that effectively blocks heat transmission and preserves the integrity of the fire barrier.
