Fire Rated Windows

Safeguarding Your Space Against Flames

When it comes to fire safety, every detail matters. Whether you’re a homeowner seeking peace of mind or a builder constructing near fire-prone areas, fire-rated windows are your first line of defense. Let’s explore the technical features, benefits, and why these windows are essential.

Fire Protective Glazing

Our fire-rated windows use clear fire protective glazing without wires or tints. Here’s what sets them apart:

Superior Optical Clarity: Compared to wired glass and tinted ceramics, our fire-rated windows offer truly clear views. Say goodbye to distorted vision during emergencies.

STC Ratings: These windows are tested to NFPA 257 / UL 9 / CAN/ULC S106 standards. Depending on fire separation distance, they typically provide up to 45 minutes of fire protection (some exterior openings even reach 90 minutes).

Customization: Whether for interior or exterior applications, we tailor our fire-rated windows to fit seamlessly.

Framing Options

Choose from our versatile framing solutions:

  • GPX® Architectural Series (45 Minutes): Aluminum framing with narrow profiles and uniform sightlines. Ideal for both interior and exterior fire protective applications.
  • GPX® Builders Series (20-45 Minutes): Hollow metal framing that combines affordability with fire protection. Perfect for windows and openings.
  • GPX® EZ Frame (45-120 Minutes): A flexible, economical solution without visible metal framing. Ideal for fire resistive walls.
