Contemporary architecture loves larger and larger-size glass. For high fire-resistance class glazings, however, their weight is a problem.
Low weight of POLFLAM glass allows for large-dimension panes to be made which do not provide excessive load on the structure of the building.
Modern architecture means glass. And most of this is fire-resistant glass, where, thanks to still more technologically advanced products being launched, glazed walls can be applied to more and more demanding structures. Ceilings and stairs are a good example of such application.

Another technology barrier has been broken through. The BR EI 120 glass is a new product of POLFLAM brand with truly attractive parameters.
On May, 23, starts the FIT Show 2017– an annual meeting of manufacturers and fitters of glass, windows and glazed systems applied in the building industry. Its status is growing year by year, not only on the British market. This year, the Show is going to be held in a new location: a modern National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham.
At the Show, we will, first of all, present large-size fire-resistant POLFLAM glass to be installed in frameless systems. We shall also show our new product: fire-resistant glass for use in ceilings and stairs, the load-bearing capacity being as much as 5 kN/m2. We have prepared a set of exhibits with POLFLAM glass in all the EI classes: from 30 to 180.
See you in Birmingham!

POLFLAM® brand is firmly positioning itself within the exclusive group of facade glass producers. And this is due to POLFLAM’s long years’ experience in the production of fire-resistant glass of record-large dimensions and to the product’s unique features. What are the decisive parameters in this case and why is the size so important for facade glazing?
Today’s construction glass has almost unlimited possibilities, including safety of people and assets. It can be both barrier to fire and resistant to impact load, that is, protect against burglary. More and more frequently, we find it combine a number of functions. The POLFLAM fire-resistant glass sealed to a glass sheet of an increased safety class (P) is an example of such a multi-function product.
Fire-resistant glass is an extremely specialised product which requires both technological knowledge and high investment in research and in the certification proces. For years, it has been associated with global brands or sector tycoons. A new brand in the market, the glass of unique parameters or proprietary technology – all this was quite a surprise. POLFLAM makes its way onto European markets – says Paweł Dziedziak, Export Sales Director at POLFLAM.
