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.
Our fire rated curtain walls undergo rigorous testing in compliance with UL, EN, and ASTM standards to ensure top-level performance. Each system is certified through fire hose stream tests, with verified thermal insulation and integrity ratings, guaranteeing reliable protection during real-world fire events.
Fire-rated curtain walls are essential for buildings where safety and compliance are non-negotiable.
Here’s a list of notable projects in the Middle East and Africa that include curtain wall systems, especially aluminum and glazed curtain walls, often used in commercial, residential, and institutional buildings:
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.

Toughened glass and tempered glass are the same safety glass, made stronger by heat treatment, with differences mainly in naming and regional usage.
Glass spontaneous breakage occurs when tempered glass shatters without impact, often caused by nickel sulfide inclusions, thermal stress, or edge damage.
