Fire-Rated Glass Systems in Wilmington, NC

Safety in a building takes many forms, and fire protection is among the most critical. While all glass can break under intense heat, fire-rated glass is engineered to contain flames and smoke — and we install these systems throughout Wilmington's commercial and multi-family buildings.

Service Overview

About Our Fire-Rated Glass Systems in Wilmington, NC

Fire-rated glass is a certified, tested assembly that includes both the glass and the specific frame it fits into, available in different forms with different ratings — 45 minutes or 90 minutes, for example — that tell you how long the system is designed to hold back fire and extreme heat.

There are two main types: fire-protective glass, which blocks flames and smoke for its rated time, and fire-resistive glass, which goes further by also blocking dangerous radiant heat. We install these systems in doors, windows, stairwells, corridors, and interior walls, handling every detail so the glass, frame, and hardware fit precisely and perform as designed.
