According to the standards currently in force (EN 12150-1 and 2; EN 14449: 2005), only two types of glass are classified as safety glass.
First of all, laminated glass (Lamipor) which, in case of breakage, does not disintegrate, but mostly keeps its cohesion.
Secondly, tempered glass (Vitrodur) is a heat-treated glass that, when broken, defragments into small particles (no larger than the thickness of the glass) preventing damage or harmful injuries.
It is also possible to combine laminate and tempered (Lamidur), therefore obtaining an element of high hardness, security, and stability.
Nowadays, and more and more, glass has assumed a preponderant role when it comes to guards that promote personal safety, without losing transparency and connection between environments. By combining laminated glass with other components – such as SentryGlas films – we achieve safety, stability, and fall protection for people.
Fire-resistant glass is an advanced safety solution that combines fire protection, transparency, and design. Designed to limit the spread of flames, smoke, and heat, it helps protect people and property while maintaining the brightness and aesthetic appeal of spaces. It is the ideal solution for projects that require high safety standards without compromising architectural integration.
Vitropor is part of the network of certified partners of SCHOTT, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of fire-resistant glass. This partnership allows us to offer certified, high-performance fire-resistant solutions, ensuring quality, safety, and compliance with the most demanding requirements of modern architecture and construction.
Designed to maintain its protective properties even when exposed to very high temperatures.
Certified protection against the spread of flames, smoke, and heat for up to 120 minutes, depending on the solution and classification applied.
Ability to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations without compromising its integrity and performance.
Prevents the passage of flames and smoke
It maintains its integrity for the certified duration, preventing the spread of fire and hot gases into the protected area.
Examples: E30, E60, E90, E120
Reduces radiant heat transfer
In addition to preventing the passage of flames and smoke, it limits the thermal radiation transmitted to the side not exposed to the fire, providing additional protection.
Examples: EW30, EW60, EW90, EW120
Maximum protection against fire and heat
It prevents the passage of flames, smoke, and heat, keeping the temperature on the protected side within the limits set by safety standards.
Examples: EI30, EI60, EI90, EI120
Solutions tested and certified in accordance with the most stringent European fire resistance standards.
It allows you to create bright, visually open spaces without compromising fire safety.
High reliability and durability to meet the demands of the most challenging projects.
At Vitropor, we approach glass with curiosity, research, and learning, strengthening innovation and continuous improvement.
