Yes, Antifires fire rated glass assemblies are fully certified to meet the UL 10C positive pressure test required for Las Vegas commercial fire doors. This standard, mandated by Clark County amendments to the 2021 IBC, simulates real-fire conditions where pressure builds on the fire side. Antifires products, such as the 28mm EI60 panel (integrity 66 min, insulation 64 min) and 50mm EI120 glass (integrity 120 min, insulation 120 min), are tested under positive pressure with furnace pressure maintained at 0 ±2 Pa after 5 minutes. The assemblies use steel frames, ceramic wool seals (density 210 kg/m³), and intumescent fire seals (20mm × 4mm) to prevent gap penetration and sustained flaming. All test reports are documented per UL 10C and ASTM E119, providing the necessary documentation for Clark County permit submissions. For specific project requirements, the technical team can provide certified data sheets and thermal performance calculations.
For hotel corridor fire doors on the Las Vegas Strip, the typical fire resistance rating required is 90 minutes of integrity (E90) per UL 9, as mandated by the 2021 IBC for exit corridors serving high-occupancy buildings. This rating ensures that glazing prevents flame penetration and hot gas leakage for 90 minutes under neutral pressure conditions. Antifires recommends using 21mm FPOS glass (integrity 120 min, insulation 30 min) or 26mm door glass (integrity 89–90 min, insulation 68 min) to meet this requirement while providing thermal insulation to protect escaping occupants. The glass structure—multi-layer tempered with intumescent gel—also resists thermal shock from Las Vegas’s extreme temperature swings. For doors in atrium perimeters, a 60-minute rating (E60) may apply, but corridor doors near stairwells typically demand the higher 90-minute standard. Antifires provides full UL 9 certification documentation for each assembly.
Yes, Antifires can provide certified fire rated windows for a mixed-use building retrofit near the Las Vegas Arts District. For such projects, compliance with the 2021 IBC and UL 9/UL 10C standards is essential, depending on the window’s location—e.g., exit enclosures require UL 9, while atrium perimeters need UL 10C. Antifires offers 6mm E90 glass (integrity 90 min per BS 476 Part 22) and 10mm FPOS glass (integrity 135 min, insulation 16 min) in steel frames with ceramic wool seals. The technical team conducts on-site assessments to account for thermal expansion from desert heat and seismic zone requirements, ensuring expansion gaps (3mm to 5mm) are filled with ceramic fiber. All assemblies are supplied with full test reports and documentation for Clark County permit submissions, including data from ASTM E119 and BS EN 1634-1. For a retrofit near the Arts District, Antifires can also provide fire rated glass windows that match historical aesthetics while meeting modern life safety codes.
