,The most versatile solution for applications demanding maximum Fire-Resistive protection in the largest possible dimensions.
CONTRAFLAM in Johannesburg is a single or multi-chamber fire-resistive glass made of two or more sheets of toughened safety glass. The cavity between the glass sheets is sealed to be completely moisture-resistant, is then filled with an environmentally friendly, transparent and UV-stable intumescent interlayer that reacts when exposed to fire. The level of fire resistance required determines the number of sheets of toughened safety glass and interlayers included.
In the event of fire, it offers full heat insulation for the compartmentalization of fire. This product satisfies the highest demands of fire protection while offering robust handling and UV stability, with numerous configurations available.
  • Available in single, double, or triple glazing (IGU) 
  • Rated for full fire-resistance from 45 to 120 minutes 
  • Symmetrical 1(B)1 impact resistance (EN 12600)
  • Extended exposure time of 5,000 hours UV stability versus standard 2,000 hours 
  • Large variety of low-E and solar control coatings  
  • Exceptional U values (double glazing ≥ 0.9 W/m²K, triple glazing ≥ 0.5 W/m²) 
  • Available in large dimensions 
  • Moisture- and pressure-resistant edge sealing for extended durability 
  • Excellent acoustic insulation properties 
  • Many design and comfort options 
  • Manufactured locally for fast delivery and reduced CO2 emissions
  • Can serve as laminated safety glass  
  • Easy, secure handling and installation 
,Butt-joint fire-resistant glazing system for interior & exterior applications (under specific conditions)
CONTRAFLAM in Johannesburg Structure sets new standards in the design of transparent fire protection. The floor-to-ceiling glazing system provides a continuous, uninterrupted glass wall, joined only with silicone. Made of CONTRAFLAM in Johannesburg fire-resistant glass, CONTRAFLAM in Johannesburg Structure is engineered to achieve the mechanical resistance required to support interior wall line-loads and offer superior edge aesthetic.

Fire-rated glass is a crucial component in building safety and design, offering protection against the spread of fire while allowing natural light to flow through spaces. Let's explore three successful projects that showcase the use of fire-rated glass from leading manufacturers AGC, VETROTECH, Saint-Gobain, and PILKINGTON in Johannesburg , Johannesburg.
1. Project Name: The Shard (London, UK)
AGC's Pyrobel glass was used in The Shard, an iconic skyscraper in London. This fire-rated glass not only provides fire protection but also enhances the building's aesthetics with its clarity and transparency. The use of AGC's Pyrobel ensured that safety standards were met without compromising on design.
2. Project Name: Dubai Frame (Dubai, UAE)
VETROTECH provided its CONTRAFLAM in Johannesburg range of fire-rated glass for the stunning Dubai Frame project. This high-performance glass not only offers fire resistance but also provides excellent light transmission, contributing to the building's modern and sleek appearance. VETROTECH's innovative solutions helped create a safe yet visually appealing structure.
3. Project Name: Louvre Abu Dhabi (Abu Dhabi, UAE)
Saint-Gobain's CONTRAFLAM in Johannesburg Ultra Clear was chosen for the Louvre Abu Dhabi museum to ensure both safety and aesthetics were met seamlessly. This advanced fire-rated glass offers exceptional transparency and thermal insulation properties while providing up to 120 minutes of fire protection. Saint-Gobain's expertise in sustainable building materials shines through in this prestigious project.
Advantages of Fire-Rated Glass:
- Fire protection: Fire-rated glass helps contain flames and smoke during a fire incident.
- Safety: Provides crucial time for evacuation by maintaining structural integrity.
- Aesthetics: Allows natural light to pass through spaces without compromising on design.
- Durability: Resistant to thermal stress and impact, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Compliance: Meets regulatory requirements for safety standards in buildings.
These successful projects highlight how fire-rated glass from industry leaders like AGC, VETROTECH, Saint-Gobain, and PILKINGTON in Johannesburg plays a vital role in enhancing both safety and design aspects in modern architecture.
