A glass facade should be a symbol of innovation and beauty, not a latent liability. The difference between a hazard and a safeguard lies entirely in the specification. By understanding the risks of conventional glazing and opting for a properly engineered, certified fire-rated curtain wall system, architects and building owners can confidently create transparent, light-filled buildings that are as safe as they are spectacular. It is a necessary evolution in building design, where the envelope actively contributes to the overall fire strategy, ensuring that safety is seamlessly integrated from the inside out.
