PYRANOVA^® is a reliable, high specification specialty glass for fire-resistant glazing, combining full insulation with fire integrity and impact protection. This clear, laminated composite glass is made up of several thin panes of float glass, with a transparent fire-resistant layer that intumesces in the event of a fire located in between the panes. When used as a component in fire-resistant glazing, PYRANOVA^® specialty glass meets the requirements of fire resistance classes EI 15 to EI 120. It prevents the passage of fire, smoke and heat radiation and, due to its structure, protects against fires from either side. This makes it ideally suited to glazing systems situated in escape routes. PYRANOVA^® specialty glass has been tested within a number of frame types including timber, steel & aluminium. It has also successfully passed fire tests in a butt-jointed configuration up to 3m high.



Steve Wilson, director of Performance Glass Processing Ltd commented, “Historically, I have always turned to SCHOTT products to deliver high quality fire-rated solutions, and I hold it in the highest regard that we are now in a position to work alongside the market leader as an accredited value-added partner in the UK.”



Sales Manager Martin Brown of SCHOTT UK adds, “We are very pleased to have Performance Glass Processing Ltd. as an approved PYRANOVA ^® specialty glass stockist with the ability to supply UK installers working on projects that demand on-time delivery to a high standard of quality.”
