CHM……Fire resistant glazing gaskets

and ancilaries

The weakest point in a fire resistant glazing system is the glazing pocket. With timber framing, the pocket is susceptible to erosion by fire and intumescent seals are used to help maintain the integrity of the pocket.

Unlike timber, steel framing does not erode in fire and mineral fibre tapes are often used to reduce the amount of heat that is conducted to the edges of the glass and to help secure the glass in position as it starts to soften and slump.
