Interior Glazing Offers Wood Look and Fire Performance

Technical Glass Products’ Fireframes TimberLine Series allows design professionals to bring the look of wood frames to interior glazing applications with stringent fire and life-safety performance criteria. The innovative system pairs a high-strength steel sub-frame with a real-wood veneered metal cover cap. The result is slender fire-rated frames that capture the warmth of wood, enable tall spans and serve as a barrier to radiant and conductive heat transfer. The series is combined with Pilkington Pyrostop fire-rated glass to allow for unrestricted glazing in locations where the total glazing area exceeds 25 percent of the wall. Frames are available in multiple wood species, including white maple, cherry, fir and oak.
