Glass Sliding Door Project for Stairwell by Pyropanel

Pyropanel, a company known for its diverse range of fire-resistant equipment, is the best partner in glass sliding door projects. Pyropanel products are tested to an ever-increasing range of international standards to meet the growing needs of off-shore markets. They independently test and certify their special products to ensure quality and safety for all establishments.

Pyropanel's head office is based in eastern Melbourne, Victoria, distributing throughout Australia, New Zealand and a growing number of overseas countries via a network of privately owned licensed manufacturers and distributors known as 'Licencees'. These Licencees have been thoroughly trained in the construction methods and features of the Pyropanel range, so you can be confident that the product will meet the strict quality and performance characteristics that have become synonymous with Pyropanel products.

One of its recent projects is glass sliding doors for stairwells. This fully certified -/30/- glass sliding door is flanked by -/60/- fixed side lites providing a transparent, fire-rated barrier.

Glass Sliding Door Project for Stairwell by Pyropanel.

This new system from Pyropanel uses 18mm Pilkington Pyrostop(TM) intumescent glass for the sliding door (the glass provides a full 30 minutes of both integrity and insulation. However, the door set is certified for integrity only), and 13mm Pilkington Pyrodur(TM) intumescent glass for the fixed glazing which provides more than 10 minutes of insulation protection as well as a full 1 hour of integrity protection, all housed in certified framing system from Forster AG.

Both Pilkington Pyrostop and Pyrodur also protect against radiation transmission, providing a safe passage for escaping occupants in the event of a fire. Normal transparent fire-rated glazing such as wired glass allows more than 50% of radiant heat to pass through, resulting in over 400 degrees C on the non-fireside.

This new product from Pyropanel adds to the already extensive range of special-purpose doors and glazed fire-rated products such as fixed lites single and double-acting doors.
