All public buildings will have a fire safety strategy in place to ensure that in the event of a fire, both people and property are protected and kept as safe as possible. The powerful heat resistance of PYRAN® means it’s ideal for this purpose, while its stable light transmission and attractive appearance fitting seamlessly with the modern look of 21st century public spaces.

PYRAN® is far superior to the traditional types of glass used in fire resistant glass. The secret lies in the interaction between the material and the production process. Manufactured in a micro float facility, which is unique within the world, the fire resistant properties of the special float glass surpass those of soda lime glass by far. The unique combination of borosilicate glass and the float process result in the special glass type PYRAN® S with outstanding properties.

PYRAN® has a long record of proven performance in fire resistant glazing to meet the requirements of fire resistance classes E 30 to E 120. PYRAN® guarantees safety, multifunctionality and aesthetics. Even under high thermal loads, the glazing stays transparent, ensuring that the burning building can be safely evacuated.

PYRAN® can be used for all applications that must meet high safety requirements but that also demand original design. In cooperation with system partners, SCHOTT develops designs with PYRAN® that have been internationally approved and are ideally suited for:

• Facades
• Partition walls
• Skylights and rooflights
• Doors
• Roofs
• Smoke screens
• lift door glazing
• lift shaft glazing
