AIS CASE STUDY

AISGLASS – CLEARLY SAFE

• Glass took it’s own share of time to come into limelight, today it is used extensively

• There existed a time when people were not so sure if glass could go beyond it’s usage in mirrors and windows

• Now, with changing times glass has become an integral part of modern architecture and interior design

• Glass applications can be seen in facades, windows & doors, interiors (home/office), décor etc.

AIS Introduction

THEN

NOW

• Glass has it’s share of trust issues when it comes to fire breakout

• People believed that installing glass in houses or workplace could aggravate the situation in case of fire resulting into serious casualties

• That’s untrue!• Glass now comes equipped with properties that do not

escalate the situation instead they prevent fire to spread to non-fire sides. They provide integrity and insulation

BackgroundAIS

• Today, there are products that can actually substitute a brick wall in terms of fire-rating property, yet give transparency

• While some of the fire safety glasses function as a physical barrier preventing spread of fire and smoke, certain advanced solutions can actually drastically reduce the radiant heat from a fire

The European classification standards (EN 13501) for glass use the following system:• E – Integrity• W – Low Radiation• I – InsulationAccordingly, the following types of glasses are available in the FRG range

AIS Glass- Can Fight Fire

E Class – They provide for only integrity. These are special tempered glasses and they prevent the spread of flames to the non-fire side. There will be no protection from radiation in this type of glasses. They are normally used for internal applications.

Fire Resistant Glass RangeAIS

EW Class – These are tempered and laminated glasses. They prevent the flames and also control the radiation on the non-fire side to a maximum of 15KW per sqm. They offer integrity and provide for low heat radiation. They are used for internal and external applications.

AIS Fire Resistant Glass Range

EI Class – These type of FRG glasses offer integrity and insulation.The maximum temperature on the non-fire side does not exceed an average of 140 degree Celsius.

Fire Resistant Glass RangeAIS

• Glass installed these days are very good at preventing fire irrespective of their place of installation

• In the case of fire in particular glass façades have been held responsible for aggravating fire accidents and their consequences in buildings

• When proper norms and guidelines are followed for designing and constructing glass buildings, and the right types of glasses are used for façades, the destructive effects of fire are greatly reduced

ScenarioAIS

Specialised glass is one of the ways to protect from fire and fire hazards. A range of high quality, fire resistant glasses are available today to mitigate the adverse effects of fire accidents and offer enhanced protection

• Wired Glass • Borosilicate Glass • Toughened Glass • Toughened Glass with flame retardant coating • Toughened Glass with Intumescent gel • Laminated Glass with Intumescent layers
