Fire Safety Glazing – A System not a Product!

Description

Specifying fire-resistant glazing and framing systems can be a complex process. This seminar on fire-resistant glazing will provide you with an understanding of the different classifications of fire resistant glasses and their properties, in addition to key legislation and test standards. Video footage and practical examples will be included to show how each classification performs differently. Various applications and compositions will also be covered to demonstrate the safety, thermal, acoustic and design options that can be achieved when specifying fire glass, offering you a comprehensive introduction to the theme of fire-resistant glazing. By the end of this CPD delegates should: 1. Have an understanding of the capabilities of integrity only, heat radiation control and fully insulated fire resistant glass. 2. Know how to specify fire resistant glass to meet with recognised EU and passive fire protection industry terminology. 3. Understand some of the acoustic properties of fire resistant glass in relation to BB93 including project examples. 4. Know the basics of designing fire resistant certified systems for windows, doors, partitions and frameless systems applications. 5. Have an understanding of how the multi-functionality of fire safety glass can facilitate innovations in architectural design, with reference to project examples.
