Swiss Engineered Fire Resistant Glass comes to the UK

Fireswiss Cool is the first product to be introduced to the market, a glass that offers both integrity and partial insulation against radiating heat.



Swiss Engineering



With a history of innovation and specialist glass development Glas Trösch products do not disappoint.  Fireswiss Cool lived up to the expectations of a high performance fire glass by achieving 49 minutes integrity in a fire test undertaken at Exova Warrington, easily exceeding the more common performance level of 30 minutes integrity. Fireswiss Cool also offers additional protection due to insulating qualities, helping prevent the increase of room temperatures and enabling access to exits in the event of fire.  Whatever the project size and nature, Fireswiss Cool can be specified with confidence.

Fireswiss Cool is Certifire rated for use in timber fire doors and screens and fulfils the strict requirements of all relevant UK and European test standards, with CE certification for all product variations.   Large glass sizes have been tested in established timber frame systems, customized fire testing is also available at the Glas Trösch accredited in-house test laboratory.
