smoke and fire
Fire and smoke protection measures are essential, life-
saving precautions in a building. Whats more, they protect
the property from the devastating consequences of the fire
itself, and the damaging effects of hot and cold smoke.
So its essential to get the product selection right, every time.

Fire and Smoke Life Threatening Forces
On average 388 people are killed and 11,100 are injured* in fires each year in the UK alone. Many
of the casualties are attributable to breathing the toxic products of combustion from a remote fire.
Fire and smoke also cause extensive damage to building fabric and contents. 2.52 billion* per
annum is the estimated total of fire-related losses. The majority of these deaths, injuries and losses
occur in buildings where fire and smoke protection measures have been inadequate.

Operation
In every day use our fire resistant glazing systems offer firm support with a degree of flexibility
which absorbs shocks and minimises glass rattle. When exposed to fire the intumescent material expands
forming a stable insulating seal which holds the glass firmly so it does not slump as it progressively softens.
