Pyroguard has introduced its new RIBA-approved CPD ‘Fire safety glazing: a system not a product!’.
The new CPD covers a range of topics, including the role of fire safety glazing in the built environment and the types available.
According to Pyroguard, the CPD runs through common applications, the importance of compartmentation, and provides clarification on the three fire safety glass classifications and what these mean in real-world terms. It also provides an overview of the current testing standards, the range of framing systems and materials available and how the multi-functional capabilities can enable architects to get more from their specification, the company said.
Andy Lake, Pyroguard’s UK & Ireland sales director, said: “Fire safety glass is something we encounter every day – an essential element of passive fire protection that also enables cutting-edge architectural design. Although it may appear visually similar to standard glass, specifying the right solution can involve a range of technical considerations that go far beyond what meets the eye.
“Even today, there remains the potential for confusion around fire safety glass, the classifications available and the rules and regulations surrounding it. Our CPD aims to clear up any misconceptions in the industry and give architects and specifiers the knowledge they need to make informed decisions. Ultimately, it’s about helping them get the most out of their specification, without the need to compromise on aesthetic design.”
Pyroguard said its updated CPD includes its latest product developments, including Pyroguard Balustrades, developed for high-rise applications, as well as referencing recent case studies from around the globe.
