Fire Rated Curtain Wall
Fire rated curtain walls are non-load-bearing aluminum and glass façade systems designed to resist fire, smoke, and heat for a specified duration. These systems combine sleek architectural design with tested fire protection, helping to compartmentalize flames and safeguard building occupants. Ideal for commercial and high-rise structures, they meet strict safety codes without compromising aesthetics.
What Is a Fire-Rated Curtain Wall?
A fire rated curtain wall is a non-load-bearing aluminum and glass wall system designed to resist fire for a specific duration (e.g., 60 or 120 minutes).
Unlike standard curtain walls, it incorporates fire-resistant glazing, insulated framing, and certified components to contain flames, smoke, and heat within a compartment during a fire.
