Twin Glazed
  • 30 minute fire rating
  • Proven method of build
  • IFCC tamper-proof label

Forza's twin-glazed timber-framed fire and acoustic screens meet the most demanding specifications.

The 30 minutes twin glazed design includes the fire resisting pane of glass offset to one side of the frame profile and a pane of non-fire resisting glass in the other glazing pocket creating an asymmetric construction, therefore the twin glazed option may only be included where the fire risk face can be identified, and the fire resiting glass must be installed nearer to the unexposed face. It is recommended that the perceived fire risk and one-sided application, is agreed with the Approving Authority.

Our standard elevations provide clear guidance on maximum fire glass dimensions for 30-minute integrity/insulation, while addressing British Standards and Building Control Regulations impact recommendations.

Tested to BS 476: Part 22: 1987, our screens comply with BS6180:2011 barrier recommendations and achieve "Severe Duty" structural performance (BS 5234: part 2 1992 Annexes A/C/E/F).
