In a groundbreaking partnership, Obeco Glass Blocks and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have made significant strides in fire-rated glass block technology. The latest assessment, known as CSIRO Assessment Number FCO 2779 Rev C, introduces several key improvements:

  • Increased Maximum Heights: The updated assessment allows for greater flexibility in building design by extending the maximum allowable heights for fire-rated glass block installations.
  • New Reinforcing Layouts: Obeco and CSIRO have developed innovative reinforcing layouts that enhance structural integrity while maintaining fire resistance.
  • Introducing Fuchs Design Glass Blocks: The collaboration introduces the Fuchs Design glass block, capable of achieving an impressive Fire Resistance Level (FRL) of -/120/120. This rating represents the highest fire resistance available for glass blocks.

Architects, builders, and designers can now leverage these advancements to create safer and more aesthetically pleasing spaces. For detailed technical information, visit Obeco's Fire Rated Glass Blocks Technical page.
