Selecting Glass for Fire Doors and Fixed Glazing
I. Selection of Framed and Frameless Glass
Framed Glass:
Should utilize safety glass that meets the specified standards.
When the glass area is ≤ 0.5 m², standard annealed glass or wired glass with a thickness of ≤ 6 mm may be used.
Frameless Glass:
Must comply with the standards, using tempered glass with a thickness of ≤ 10 mm.
II. Use of Safety Glass in Interior Partitions
Glass Type:
Use tempered glass with a stainless steel or angle steel framework, connected with expansion bolts.
The thickness, dimensions, and specifications of the stainless steel and angle steel must meet design requirements.
Installation Checks:
Verify that glass corners are square and that the frame dimensions are accurate.
Any deformations must be corrected before installation.
Material Specifications:
Utilize hairline stainless steel, with wall thickness as per tender requirements.
Glass Quality:
Employ 12 mm thick tempered glass made from high-quality float glass, ensuring that the glass surface is free from bubbles, cracks, chips, edge defects, or delamination.
III. Glass for Public and Sports Venues
Framed Glass:
Must be tempered glass with a thickness of ≤ 5 mm or laminated glass of thickness ≤ 6.38 mm, as specified.
Frameless Glass:
Should also be tempered glass with a thickness of ≤ 10 mm.
IV. Glass Specifications for Bathrooms
Framed Glass:
Must meet safety glass standards in the following areas:
Glass used for shower and bathtub partitions.
The visible line on the glass must be no more than 500 mm from the bathtub or shower base edge, and less than 1500 mm from the highest adjacent floor.
Frameless Glass:
All frameless glass in bathrooms, excluding doors, should be tempered glass of thickness ≤ 5 mm.
Frameless Doors:
Bathroom doors should use tempered glass of thickness ≤ 10 mm.
V. Glass for Railings
Non-load-bearing Railings:
Should consist of tempered glass with a thickness of ≤ 5 mm or laminated glass of thickness ≤ 6.38 mm.
Load-bearing Railings:
Must utilize tempered glass of thickness ≤ 12 mm or tempered laminated glass.
If the glass is at a height of 5 m or more, tempered laminated glass is required.
