This course offers an overview of modern fire-rated glass and framing systems, and answers common fire-rated glazing questions from the design community. Topics include: product testing standards, fire-rated glazing classifications, code changes and how fire-rated glazing can be used within the built environment. This course also explores multifunctional fire-rated glazing systems, including compatibility considerations when pairing fire-rated glazing with other safety- and security-rated components. This information can help professionals meet multiple goals without compromising fire- and life-safety requirements. Real-world project examples illustrate how design firms have used these systems to meet code requirements while achieving aesthetic and performance objectives.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the fundamentals of fire-rated glazing, including product testing standards and fire-rated glazing classifications.
- Explain the different types of applications for fire-resistive-rated systems from flooring to walls.
- Articulate key considerations when coupling fire-rated glazing with other protective components like forced-entry rated or storm-resistant products.
- Answer common fire-rated design questions with examples from case studies.
