Pyroguard launches game changing fi re-rated balustrade glass range
P
yroguard,
the world’s leading
independent provider of fi re safety glass, has developed a thinner, lighter
glass specifi cally for balustrades that achieves A2 fi re-rated performance and contains less encapsulated CO2
.
In partnership with Q-railing, a specialist in balustrade systems, the product has been successfully tested and is the fi rst approved balustrade system of its kind to reach the market.
The new Pyroguard Balustrades Evo range has been introduced to meet the growing demand for cost-effective, environmentally responsible glazed balustrade products - without compromising performance or aesthetic appeal. Suitable for both new commercial installations or retrofi t projects, the range offers a competitively priced alternative to aluminium railing style solutions.
Pyroguard Balustrades Evo reduces the interlayer thickness from 3 mm to 1.5 mm, matching overall glass thicknesses of standard laminate equivalents – while delivering superior line load capabilities.
The
range includes new range

options
such as 13.5 mm, 17.5 mm, 21.5 mm and 25.5 mm for 1.5 kN/m line loads – with a weight saving of up to 6%. The

transmission improvement compared to the existing Pyroguard Balustrades range and an embodied
carbon improvement
of up to 7.5%. Existing Pyroguard Balustrades glass thicknesses will continue to be available. Andy Lake, Pyroguard’s sales director for UK & Ireland, said: “Our new balustrade glazing options are a game-changing innovation. We developed the range to meet market demand for A2 fi re-rated glazing panels at standard laminated glass thicknesses to deliver aesthetically pleasing balustrades at a competitive price.” He added: “The new range means balustrade
manufacturers do not have
to change their existing systems, making design and installation much easier, while also allowing them to use existing stock materials.
Ultimately, our thinner, lighter balustrade glass delivers on cost, performance
and sustainability.” Darryl Holloway,
architectural sales
manager, Q-railing explains: “Over the past four years, we have supplied over 5,000 linear metres of fi re-rated balconies for high-rise residential projects over 11 m, in conjunction with Pyroguard. Pyroguard Balustrades Evo is an extension of our collaboration with the company to bring to market a fi re-rated glass balustrade system which is a more commercially viable option for specifi ers.” By utilising conventional laminated glass thicknesses,
