Surabaya Certified Fire Rated Glass & Fire Door Systems for SNI Compliance

For Surabaya’s rapidly expanding skyline—from the commercial towers along Jalan Tunjungan to the industrial complexes in Rungkut—fire safety compliance is non-negotiable. Antifires provides certified fire rated glass, fire doors, and window systems engineered to meet the stringent requirements of SNI 1727:2020, the Indonesian national standard for minimum design loads and fire-resistance ratings. This standard, aligned with global benchmarks such as ASTM E119 and BS 476 Part 22, mandates that passive fire protection systems in high-occupancy buildings withstand real-world fire scenarios while maintaining structural integrity under seismic loading. Our assemblies are rigorously tested to deliver 60 to 120 minutes of integrity (E) and, where required, thermal insulation (I) to protect egress routes and compartment boundaries. By integrating localized test data with international certification, Antifires ensures that every product supplied to Surabaya projects passes the scrutiny of local fire brigade inspections. For detailed regulatory frameworks, refer to the official BSN (Badan Standardisasi Nasional) portal for SNI documentation. Our localized approach includes pre-configured 60-minute fire rated glass assemblies that directly address Surabaya’s unique combination of high humidity and seismic activity, providing specifiers with a turnkey solution for code compliance.

Surabaya Building Fire Safety Codes – Adapting to SNI 1727:2020 and Local Enforcement

Surabaya’s enforcement of SNI 1727:2020 requires fire-rated assemblies to perform under both thermal stress and seismic displacement. This is particularly critical in high-rise structures along Jalan Basuki Rahmat and industrial zones in Rungkut, where compartmentation must remain intact during a fire event. Antifires’ fire rated glass systems are tested to meet 60–120 minute integrity (E) ratings under conditions that simulate Indonesian loading scenarios, including lateral movement from seismic events. The assemblies utilize G.M.S. hollow steel frames with ceramic wool (3–6 mm, density 210 kg/m³) and intumescent fire seals (20 mm × 4 mm) to maintain gap integrity during deflection. Test data confirms that these systems withstand furnace pressures of 0 ±2 Pa and ambient temperatures of 27°C–36°C, mirroring Surabaya’s tropical conditions. For stairwell enclosures and fire-rated corridors, specifiers can rely on 90-minute fire rated glass solutions that have demonstrated sustained performance in third-party lab evaluations. This localized adaptation ensures that every installation passes the rigorous inspections required by the Surabaya Fire Brigade, reducing project delays and liability.

Fire Rated Glass Classification for Surabaya’s Tropical Climate – EI and EW Performance Data

Surabaya’s tropical climate—with average temperatures of 30°C and relative humidity often exceeding 80%—demands fire rated glass that resists thermal stress failure while maintaining fire performance. Antifires supplies EI-class (insulation) and EW-class (radiation control) glass systems engineered for these conditions. A typical configuration includes 6 mm tempered glass laminated with a 0.76 mm intumescent interlayer, which activates under fire exposure to form an insulating char. Test data from BS EN 1364-1 confirms that such assemblies achieve up to 120 minutes of integrity without delamination or thermal shock, even when exposed to rapid temperature rises. For projects requiring both integrity and insulation, the 28 mm EI60 panel (6 mm + 5.5 mm gel + 5 mm + 5.5 mm gel + 6 mm) delivers 66 minutes of integrity and 64 minutes of insulation, as verified by furnace tests using Type K thermocouples (9–12 channels). The table below summarizes key performance classifications for Surabaya’s climate:

ClassificationIntegrity (E)Insulation (I)Typical Application
EW120120 minRadiation controlAtrium glazing
EI6066 min64 minStairwell enclosures
EI3030 min30 minInternal partitions

These ratings ensure that fire partition solutions remain stable under Surabaya’s high-humidity conditions, preventing interlayer degradation over the building’s lifecycle.

Surabaya Project Applications – Fire Rated Glass for Hotels, Malls, and Petrochemical Facilities

Surabaya’s diverse project landscape—from hotel refurbishments in Gubeng to petrochemical control rooms in Tanjung Perak—requires fire rated glass systems tailored to specific occupancy risks. For hotel corridors, 60-minute fire doors with glazed inserts provide egress protection while maintaining visibility for wayfinding. These assemblies integrate with existing steel frames using M6/M8 anchor bolts at 300–600 mm spacing and 3–5 mm expansion gaps filled with ceramic fiber, ensuring seismic compatibility. In petrochemical facilities, where radiant heat poses a secondary hazard, EW120-rated glass (120 minutes integrity with radiation control) is installed in control room vision panels. Test data from BS 476 Part 22 confirms that such systems limit heat flux to safe levels, protecting operators during a fire event. For mall atria and public assembly areas, 26 mm door glass (5 mm + 5.5 mm gel + 5 mm + 5.5 mm gel + 5 mm) achieves 89–90 minutes of integrity and 68 minutes of insulation, as verified by furnace tests with 10–55 thermocouples on the unexposed surface. Antifires provides pre-engineered fire door systems that meet the specific load and fire-resistance requirements of each Surabaya project, reducing on-site customization and inspection risks.
