FIRE RATED GLASS IN HEALTHCARE FACILITIES
In the complex and sensitive environment of healthcare facilities, safety is paramount. Fire rated glass plays a vital role in protecting patients, staff, and valuable medical equipment while maintaining the aesthetic and functional requirements of modern healthcare design.
As the leading USA manufacturer of fire rated glass and framing, SAFTI FIRST® offers customizable solutions that prioritize safety without sacrificing aesthetics. Our fire rated glass and framing products are engineered to meet the unique challenges of healthcare environments, providing peace of mind for facility managers, healthcare professionals, and patients alike.
Below are some key benefits of fire rated glass in healthcare facilities:
- Unparalleled Protection for Patients and Staff. Compartmentalizes smoke, flames and limits dangerous radiant heat to enable safe egress or provide areas for safe harbor to await rescue.
- Safeguarding Critical Medical Equipment. Protects sensitive technology and essential supplies from fire and smoke damage. Preserves functionality in unaffected areas during emergencies.
- Innovative Design Meets Safety Standards. Creates an open, less institutional feel that allows natural light to enhance patient recovery and staff well-being. Enables clear visibility for improved patient monitoring.
- Health and Wellness. Helps contribute to LEED, WELL Building, and other sustainability principles and standards that focus on occupant health and wellness.
