Pyroguard Advance – the ‘next generation’ of fire safety glass

Pyroguard Advance is a brand-new, high-performance product, featuring an innovative gel interlayer technology expertly developed following the completion of a dedicated research, development and test programme.

Providing EW classification with a fire resistance of 30 or 60 minutes, Pyroguard Advance can also deliver exceptional fire protection at larger certified pane sizes, with a high tolerance to variations in glazing media – all helping customers to meet the demands of increasingly challenging fire safety applications.

Certified for use across a wide range of steel and timber profiles, Pyroguard Advance is available in 7 mm, 8 mm and 11 mm thicknesses, with the 7 mm option able to be cut simply and quickly by hand. It conforms to EN 14449 requirements for laminated fire safety glass and is impact tested to BS EN 12600.

Speaking about the launch, Steve Goodburn, Business Development Director at Pyroguard, said: “We’re delighted and very proud to introduce Pyroguard Advance to the market as our unique, ‘next generation’ cuttable product.

“For our system manufacturer and fire door customers, Pyroguard Advance provides a complete range of cuttable products from one single source.
