Technical Glass Products Offers Free SpeciFIRE
KIRKLAND, WA - Gain instant access to fire-rated glazing information with Technical Glass Products' SpeciFIRE. The SpeciFIRE is a comparison tool used by glaziers, architects and code officials to help evaluate fire-rated glazing options.
Originally designed as a slide chart, the SpeciFIRE lists product characteristics on one side, and size and rating information on the other. Users pull the insert through the sleeve to find out more information on a desired topic. For those who prefer electronic tools, a beta version of the SpeciFIRE is now available on CD.
The SpeciFIRE describes six of the primary fire-rated glazing options: polished wired glass; FireLite® (fire-rated glass ceramic); FireLite NT® (fire-rated, impact safety-rated glass ceramic made with 3M™ Scotchshield™ Ultra Film); FireLite Plus® (fire-rated, impact safety-rated glass ceramic); Pyrostop® (fire-rated, safety-rated transparent wall panels); and Pyroswiss® (20-minute fire-rated, impact safety-rated glass). It also lists important questions to ask before specifying or approving fire-rated glazing.
The SpeciFIRE is available free of charge to qualified industry professionals. Call Technical Glass Products at 800-426-0279 to order a free copy of the hand-held SpeciFIRE or the CD version. For on-line information about fire-rated glazing, visit the company's Web site at www.fireglass.com.
