Malatya Fire Rated Glass & Certified Fire Door Systems for Seismic and Fire Compliance

In the seismically active region of Malatya, located on the East Anatolian Fault Zone, building safety requires a dual approach: resistance to both fire and seismic movement. Certified fire rated glass and door systems must comply with the Turkish TS EN 1634-1 standard, which aligns with European fire resistance testing protocols. Local regulations, including the Turkish Fire Protection Regulation (BYKHY) and TS 12654, mandate that glazed barriers maintain integrity and insulation under fire loads while accommodating structural drift. Antifires provides tested assemblies that meet these stringent criteria, ensuring compartmentation remains intact even after a tremor. For detailed specifications on systems designed for such environments, explore our range of 90-minute fire rated glass solutions. All products are backed by certified test reports from accredited laboratories, referencing standards such as BS 476 Part 22 and ASTM E119 for global credibility. For official regulatory documentation, refer to the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanization’s guidelines on seismic fire safety.

Adapting to Malatya’s Dual Hazard: Seismic Resilience and TS EN 1634 Fire Compliance

Malatya’s location on the East Anatolian Fault Zone presents a unique dual hazard: buildings must resist fire while accommodating seismic drift. Fire rated glass and door assemblies must be tested to TS EN 1634-1 for fire resistance and validated for post-seismic movement. Antifires’ systems use G.M.S. hollow steel frames with ceramic wool (density 210 kg/m³) and intumescent fire seals (20mm × 4mm) to maintain integrity during dynamic shifts. Test data shows that assemblies achieve integrity up to 135 minutes (e.g., 10mm FPOS glass) while allowing for maximum deflection of 152mm toward the furnace without failure. This ensures compartmentation remains intact after a tremor. For applications requiring high seismic performance, consider our 60-minute fire rated glass with insulation systems, which are engineered for both static fire loads and dynamic drift.

Selecting Fire Rated Glass for Malatya: EI Classification and Solar Control in Continental Climate

Selecting the correct fire rated glass for Malatya involves balancing EI classification (Integrity and Insulation) with solar control in the continental climate. Local regulations under BYKHY and TS 12654 require glazed barriers to meet specific fire resistance levels. Antifires provides systems with certified ratings from EI 30 to EI 120, using multi-layer structures like 28mm EI60 panels (6mm + 5.5mm gel + 5mm + 5.5mm gel + 6mm) that achieve integrity of 66 minutes and insulation of 64 minutes. For solar control, 50mm ultra-high-performance glass offers EI 120 ratings while reducing heat gain, critical for Malatya’s hot summers. Below is a comparison of key products:

Localized Applications: Fire Rated Systems for Malatya’s Industrial Zones and Historic Retrofits

In Malatya, fire rated systems are critical for both industrial zones and historic building retrofits. For industrial facilities (e.g., factories in Organize Sanayi Bölgesi), EI 120 rated glazed partitions using 54mm ultra-high-performance glass provide integrity and insulation up to 120 minutes, ensuring safe evacuation and asset protection. For historic retrofits, such as those in Battalgazi district, narrow wall cavities (e.g., 100mm) require compact systems like 21mm FPOS glass (multi-layer composite with intumescent gel) that achieve integrity of 120 minutes and insulation of 30 minutes. These systems use 3mm ceramic tape and M6 anchor bolts at 300mm spacing to fit tight spaces without compromising fire performance. Explore our fire partition solutions for tailored designs that meet both modern codes and heritage preservation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Under Turkish regulations, including the Turkish Fire Protection Regulation (BYKHY) and TS 12654, commercial buildings in Malatya require fire rated glass with classifications ranging from EI 30 to EI 120, depending on building height and occupancy. For example, high-rise structures (over 30 meters) typically mandate EI 60 or higher for escape route glazing. Antifires provides systems tested to TS EN 1634-1 with certified ratings, such as 28mm EI60 panels (integrity 66 min, insulation 64 min) and 50mm EI120 glass (integrity and insulation 120 min). These classifications ensure compliance with local fire safety codes while addressing seismic drift requirements.

Yes, Antifires provides localized fire test reports and CE marking that are fully accepted by Malatya’s municipal building control authorities. All products are tested at accredited laboratories under standards like BS 476 Part 22 and BS EN 1634-1, with reports detailing integrity, insulation, and radiation performance. For example, our 26mm door glass achieves integrity of 89–90 minutes and insulation of 68 minutes, with documentation that meets Turkish regulatory requirements. These reports streamline approval processes for local projects.

Yes, Antifires supplies fire rated doors and glass specifically designed for narrow wall cavities typical of Malatya’s older residential renovations. For example, our 21mm FPOS glass (multi-layer composite with intumescent gel) fits cavities as slim as 100mm while achieving integrity of 120 minutes and insulation of 30 minutes. The systems use 3mm ceramic tape and M6 anchor bolts at 300mm spacing to accommodate tight spaces. Custom frame profiles are available to match existing wall thicknesses without compromising fire performance.
