AUBURN, Wash., June 30 WA-Vetrotech-Keralite
AUBURN, Wash., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Responding to demand from
architects and building owners seeking to incorporate larger interior glazing
elements into their designs, Vetrotech Saint-Gobain is now offering its
Keralite(R) FR-R and Keralite(R) FR-F fire-rated glass-ceramic in larger
sizes.
The new 46" x 78" sheets join the company's current offering, which is 30"
x 60" in size. "We can now accommodate larger designs," notes Brian Brunette,
Vetrotech Saint-Gobain National Sales Manager. "This gives architects more
freedom to use fire-rated glazing while still meeting the fire and impact
safety requirements of local building codes."
Keralite FR-R is a wireless, fire-rated glass-ceramic used in fire-rated
locations such as transoms and borrowed lites.
Keralite FR-F is a wireless, fire-rated glass-ceramic with surface applied
safety film for high impact safety (CPSC Category II). It is designed for use
in locations where accidental human impact safety ratings are required, such
as doors, transoms and borrowed lites. Keralite FR-F provides fire ratings of
20-, 45-, 60-, 90-and 180-minute duration, and also helps to contain smoke and
flames.
