What is fire-resistant glazing ?
For over 25 years, AGC has entrusted us with the distribution and processing of its Pyrobel and Pyrobelite glazing. As their names suggest, these glass products are specifically designed to provide excellent fire resistance while allowing natural light to flow into your spaces. They ensure not only safety but also optimal visual comfort.
Why choose fire-resistant glazing ?
Enhanced security
These glazing units limit the spread of flames and delay the rise in temperature on the other side of the glazing.
Performance
With resistance ratings ranging from 30 to 120 minutes, Pyrobel glazing is designed to meet the most stringent requirements.
Clarity and aesthetics
Despite its fire-resistant properties, fire-resistant glass maintains excellent natural light, which is particularly important for living and working spaces.
Sustainability
Resistant to impact, humidity and UV rays, these windows are designed to last, while offering excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.

Fire-resistant glazing resistance levels
Glass classified according to its fire resistance. Pyrobel and Pyrobelite glazing offer a range of resistance levels to suit your needs :
EW (fire barrier) : Resistance of 30 to 60 minutes, to stop the spread
of flames and heat radiation.
EI (fire-resistant) : Resistance of 30 to 120 minutes, with enhanced protection
against heat and flames.
against heat and flames.
Where should fire-resistant glazing be used ?
Pyrobel glazing is used in numerous applications, including :
Security climates : Partitions, doors, windows and glass roofs, to create fire containment zones.
High-brightness areas : Large windows and transparent walls to maintain clarity while protecting against fire.
Large dimensions : Available in XXL sizes, these glazing units are perfect for large-scale projects, up to 2 metres wide and 4.5 metres high.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about fire-resistant glass
What is the difference between flame-resistant glass and fire-resistant glass ?
Flame-resistant glazing (classified EW) stops the spread of flames but allows
some heat radiation to pass through. Fire-resistant glazing (classified EI) also provides
thermal insulation, which limits the rise in temperature on the other side.
some heat radiation to pass through. Fire-resistant glazing (classified EI) also provides
thermal insulation, which limits the rise in temperature on the other side.
What are the maximum dimensions for fire-resistant glazing ?
Pyrobel and Pyrobelite glazing can reach XXL dimensions, with a width of up to 2 meters and a height of up to 4.5 meters.
How are fire-resistant glazing units tested ?
The glazing undergoes rigorous testing by the Efectis laboratory, which verifies its effectiveness by simulating fire conditions, including flame spread and thermal insulation.
Where can fire-resistant glazing be used ?
Pyrobel and Pyrobelite glazing can be installed in partitions, doors, windows, as well as in structures such as emergency staircases or evacuation areas, in residential, commercial, or industrial buildings.
