Learning Objectives:

  1. Explain the difference between “fire-protective” and “fire-resistive” glass assemblies and how this classification applies to doors to appropriately specify assemblies that provide the proper level of defense.
  2. Receive the latest fire- and life-safety code criteria and how it impacts fire-rated glass door specification.
  3. Learn how fire-rated glass door systems have evolved over the last decade to closely resemble the look of non-rated systems without sacrificing fire and life safety.
  4. Explore how new assembly-tested multifunctional fire-rated glass door systems combine critical safety and security functions to perform on multiple levels.

This course examines fire-rated glass door systems and how they can safeguard areas of egress while supporting a wide range of design goals. Learn the basics of fire-rated glass door specification, building code standards and critical life safety considerations. Then, explore how today’s fire-rated glass doors are more than code-driven assemblies with their ability to preserve sightlines, adhere to the aesthetic design intent and integrate within sophisticated fire-rated storefronts and curtain wall systems. Additionally, learn how new-to-market multifunctional fire-rated glass door systems combine critical functions in one integrated product, mitigating additional safety and security threats without compromising fire protection.
