Fire resistant curtain wall description

A fire resistant curtain wall consists of fire-resistant glass, steel frames made of fire-resistant materials, fire-resistant hardware, and sealing compounds. It effectively controls the spread of fire from one area to another in a building by meeting or exceeding the fire resistance time specified by fire codes, functioning as a non-combustible wall.

The fire integrity refers to the ability of the architectural separation component, when subjected to fire on one side, to prevent flame and smoke penetration or the propagation of fire to the other side for a specific period according to standard fire testing conditions.

The fire resistance insulation property means that under standard fire test conditions, the partition component can maintain its backface average temperature and peak temperature below a certain level, thereby limiting heat radiation, when exposed to fire on one side, for an extended period.

Fire-resistant glass curtain walls Components

Fire-resistant glass curtain walls, commonly referred to as fire-resistant glass facade systems or fire-resistant glass partition systems, typically consist of steel frames, fire-resistant glass, intumescent sealants, fire-resistant glazing seals, steel connection components, and hardware. The anchoring fasteners that connect the steel frames to the structure should not employ modified epoxy as a bonding agent; instead, mechanical anchoring methods, such as metal screws, are recommended for secure installation.
