CE-certified fire-resistant glass in EW and EI classes — tested per EN 1634. For escape routes, fire-resistant walls, load-bearing structures and facade glazing with fire resistance.
Fire-resistant glass stops the spread of fire, smoke and radiant heat for a defined period of time — while maintaining the visual openness of a glass structure. It is a legally required component in escape routes, fire compartments and public buildings.
GIGAglas supplies fire-resistant glass in two performance categories: EW (resistance to fire and smoke, limited radiation reduction) and EI (full thermal insulation — no heat radiation through the glass). Classes of 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes available.
Fire-resistant glass demands absolute reliability in classification and documentation. We supply certified products with test reports, DoP and CE marking — so you and your client are fully covered.
From EW 30 (minimum requirement for escape routes) to EI 120 (maximum insulation for fire-resistant partition walls) — we supply every class your project requires.
Every fire-resistant glass panel is supplied with a test report per EN 1634, DoP and CE marking. Essential for approval by fire brigade, insurer and building control.
Fire-resistant glass lets daylight and sightlines through in escape routes — improving orientation and reducing panic during evacuation, while fire compartmentation is maintained.
Fire-resistant glass must be combined with certified fire-resistant frames. We coordinate system deliveries and provide all technical documentation for the complete system.
Fire-resistant glass to order — exactly to the dimensions of your doors, windows, partition walls or facade. We also supply in combination with laminated glass for combined fire and burglar resistance.
Our specialists advise you on the correct class for your project — per NEN 6068 (compartmentation NL), EN 13501-2 and local fire safety requirements across Europe.
Fire-resistant glass is not optional — it is legally required in a large number of building types and situations. GIGAglas supplies for all relevant applications.
