Firepane® is a total system, comprising a special fire rated frame and super heat resistant clear ceramic material available in all sizes, to suit openings up to 2510mm x 1165mm in transparent and obscure specifications. It looks like a normal window, is wire less, only 5mm thick, and can be delivered promptly to site glazed, ready for installation.
Firepane® is made to withstand the sudden rises in temperatures that occur in fires, with thermal expansion co-efficient of “zero”.

Applications:
Ideal for providing a fire safe environment in all safety areas for commercial, industrial, residential, schools, libraries and community projects. Typical applications would include boundary walls, fire stairs, separation between factory and offices.
Deemed to satisfy section C3.4 section 5 of the Building Code of Australia 1996.
Tested to temperatures exceeding 950ºC.

Note:
• Mechanical strength of Firepane® is the same as 5mm thick float glass.
• Firepane® is not safety glass. When safety glass is required, Firepane® PLUS,
a safety glass version of Firepane®, is available.
