Our fire rated glass and framing products can be tailored for transportation facilities by simultaneously meeting stringent regulatory standards while providing additional functional features that are crucial for modern transit hubs.

Below are some key benefits of fire rated glass in transportation facilities:

• Unparalleled Safety with Aesthetic Appeal.  Fire rated glass creates a formidable, reliable barrier against fire, smoke and radiant heat while maintaining an open, inviting atmosphere. This dual functionality is particularly crucial in high-traffic areas like airports, train stations, and bus terminals. The ability to provide clear views allows natural surveillance, further improving safety.

• Enhanced Spatial Perception and Wayfinding.  By eliminating visual barriers, fire-rated glass creates a sense of openness, making facilities feel more spacious and less congested, even during peak hours. Clear sightlines between different areas support intuitive movement through the space aiding in orientation, navigation and improving overall efficiency.

• Sustainability and Energy Efficiency.  By allowing natural light to penetrate deeper into buildings, fire rated glass reduces the need for artificial lighting, thereby lowering energy consumption. This aligns with the growing emphasis on green building practices in the transportation sector.   

• Durability Meets Design Flexibility.  Today’s multifunctional fire rated glass products fire-rated offers exceptional durability. It can be enhanced to also protect against hurricanes, blast, bullets, forced entry, and other threats. Energy efficient, decortative and bird-friendly options are also available.
