Fire resistant windows and fire-resistant glass are important components used for building fire prevention, and their main function is to protect the safety of personnel and property in the event of a fire. Fireproof glass is an important component of fireproof windows. Without fireproof glass, fireproof windows do not have functions such as fire resistance and thermal insulation.
1. Structurally, a fireproof window is a type of window composed of window frames, sashes, and fire-resistant glass. The window frames and sashes are usually made of metal materials and have a certain degree of fire resistance. Fireproof glass is a type of glass product processed by single or composite technology, usually installed directly on windows, doors, partitions, or curtain walls to provide fire separation.
2. In terms of implementing standards, fire-resistant windows and fire-resistant glass are also different. Fire resistant windows shall comply with the requirements of the national standard GB16809-2008 "Fire resistant Windows", including requirements for fire resistance performance, window sash opening and closing control, and connection between window frames and walls. Fireproof glass shall comply with the requirements of the national standard GB15763.1-2009 "Safety Glass for Building Use Part 1: Fireproof Glass", including requirements for fire resistance, optical performance, impact resistance, and other aspects.
3. The production process of fireproof windows and fireproof glass is different. The production process of fire-resistant windows is relatively simple, mainly by assembling the frame, glass, and sealing materials together. At the same time, the overall fire-resistant window must undergo performance tests such as fire resistance and insulation. The production process of fire-resistant glass is relatively complex, requiring the addition of fire-resistant materials inside or outside the glass to improve its fire resistance.
4. In terms of usage, fire-resistant windows and fire-resistant glass are also different. Fireproof glass is an important component of fire-resistant glazed components, which can be used for transparent fireproof partitions such as fireproof doors, fireproof windows, curtain walls, etc. It can ensure the performance of fireproof partitions while maintaining the transparency and aesthetics of buildings. Fireproof windows are a type of fire-resistant glazed component used in fire compartments, evacuation routes, and other areas.
In general, the production of fireproof windows cannot do without fireproof glass, which can be used not only for fireproof windows, but also for the production of fire-resistant components such as partitions, doors, walls, etc. When choosing fire-resistant materials, appropriate fire-resistant materials should be selected based on actual application scenarios and needs.
