Singapore Fire GlazingFire-rated insulated glass

Fire on one side. Calm on the other.

Fire-rated insulated glass, made in Singapore.

Made in Singapore
Edge of a laminated fire-rated glass unit, two panes with a clear interlayer

Singapore's first and only maker of fire-rated insulated glass. Two panes, one heat-stopping interlayer, made here to SCDF's rules.

For architects, fire engineers, QPs and door fabricators who need EI glazing without the import wait.

The insulation test

Fire side, 1000°C. Safe side, under 201°C.

Ordinary fire glass stops the flames. Ours also stops the heat, so the far side stays safe to pass.

How it is made

Four steps to clear.

Inside the glass
01

Two panes

Two sheets of clear float glass, cut and edged to size.

02

The chemistry

A fire-rated interlayer, imported from Germany, Japan and India.

03

The cure

Poured between the panes and cured. Milky going in. Crystal clear coming out.

Why Singapore

Why we built it here.

01

We searched the world.

Fire-rated insulated glass is made in a handful of countries. We went to learn how.

02

Singapore had no maker.

Projects here imported it and waited, or settled for less.

03

So we built it here.

The chemistry comes from Germany, Japan and India. The glass is made in Singapore.

04

Built around SCDF.

SCDF is strict. We shaped the process around its rules, not the other way round.

FAQ

Questions from the trade.

Standard fire-rated glass holds back flame and smoke. Insulated glass also holds back the heat, so the protected face stays below about 201°C. People can pass it, and what is behind it does not ignite.

Where the Fire Code calls for an insulation rating, typically on protected escape routes, compartment walls and doors near exits. The fire engineer or QP confirms the rating for each opening.

The interlayer goes in as a milky liquid. Curing turns it crystal clear. In a fire, it foams into an opaque shield that blocks the heat.

No. We make the glass. Door fabricators and contractors build it into their tested systems.

It is built to SCDF's requirements, and independent testing is underway. Results will be published here first.
