Fire Rated Glass Products

In addition to traditional polished wired glass, Syracuse Glass Company stocks Ceramic Fire Protection Rated Glazing Materials that are impact safety rated yet thin enough to be glazed in standard fire rated framing systems.

Syracuse Glass is a distributor of Schott Pyran Platinum products - The newest ultra-clear fire rated ceramics on the market. No Wires! No Orange Tint! No Rough Surface! No extended lead times! And no cross-continental freight cost. Additionally, Schott Pyran Platinum products are cradle-to-cradle silver level certified as  environmentally friendly.

Schott Pyran Platinum F is a 3/16" ceramic with a surface applied film that carries a Category II safety rating.
The surface applied film is durable, but abrasive materials or sharp objects will scratch it.

Schott Pyran Platinum L is a 5/16” laminated ceramic that carries a Category II safety rating. Since the lamination provides the safety function, this premium product has surfaces as durable as other glass products

Schott Pyran Platinum is a 3/16” ceramic without an impact safety rating for use where human impact is not a concern

These products have fire ratings from 20 to 180 minutes depending on size and installation location. Pyran F and L can be used in temperature rise doors in small sizes.

All our Schott fire rated glass products are permanently marked under a UL supervised labeling program.

1/4" Polished Wired Glass is available with a Diamond or Square wire pattern. Wired Glass is not a safety glazing material. While polished wired glass installed in fire rated doors and framing is exempt from the CPSC safety glazing code, the building code of NYS 2007 no longer allows polished wired glass to be used in hazardous locations in K-12 schools and gyms. The building code of NYS 2010 (effective mid-December 2010) will no longer allow polished wire glass in hazardous locations in any buildings.

Syracuse Glass Co. can label wired glass for its fire rating upon request.

All our Fire Rated Glass products are tested to UL9, UL10P, UL10C, NFPA 252, NFPA 257 standards.

These products are not heat barrier tested to ASTM E-119, so they are not intended for fire rated wall applications where radiant heat transfer is a concern.
