For commercial buildings in Aqtobe, the required fire resistance ratings for glazing are primarily defined by SNiP RK 2.02-05-2009 and depend on the building’s fire hazard category, number of floors, and the specific function of the glazed element. Typically, escape route partitions and stairwell enclosures require an integrity rating of at least EI30 or EI60, meaning the glass must resist flame and smoke penetration for 30 or 60 minutes while also limiting heat transfer. For high-occupancy spaces such as shopping centers, hospitals, and schools, EI60 is often the minimum standard. In certain industrial or storage facilities with higher fire loads, EI90 or EI120 may be mandated. Antifires supplies systems tested to BS 476 Part 22 and BS EN 1634-1, covering ratings from E30 to EI120, ensuring full compliance with local inspection requirements. Consulting the official SNiP RK tables for specific occupancy types is recommended for precise specification.
Yes, Antifires provides comprehensive certified documentation that aligns with Kazakhstan’s GOST and SNiP RK standards for local fire safety inspections. All products are tested by accredited laboratories according to internationally recognized fire test methods, including BS 476 Part 22, BS EN 1634-1, and ASTM E119. The test reports include detailed performance data such as integrity and insulation times, furnace temperature curves, and thermocouple readings, which are accepted by Kazakhstan’s state expert review bodies. For each project, Antifires supplies a technical passport, fire test certificates, and installation guidelines that reference the specific glass composition (e.g., 10mm FPOS with 3mm float + 4mm gel + 3mm float) and frame assembly details. This documentation ensures that local authorities can verify compliance with the required fire resistance limits during construction and occupancy permits.
Antifires ensures reliable performance of its fire rated glass in Aqtobe’s extreme seasonal temperature variations through rigorous material selection and multi-layer composite design. The glass incorporates intumescent gel interlayers that remain stable across a wide temperature range, from -40°C to +60°C, without degrading or losing transparency. During standard fire tests conducted at ambient temperatures between 27°C and 36°C and relative humidity up to 90%, the systems demonstrated consistent behavior, including controlled cracking and gel activation. The steel frames are treated with corrosion-resistant coatings, and the ceramic wool seals (density 210 kg/m³) maintain their insulating properties despite thermal cycling. Additionally, Antifires provides installation guidelines that account for expansion gaps (3–5mm filled with ceramic fiber) to accommodate structural movements caused by temperature shifts. This engineering approach ensures that the fire rated glass retains its certified integrity and insulation performance year-round in Aqtobe’s continental climate.
