PANEL & SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT NAME:
GlazeGuard® 1000 FR
Fire Resistant Opaque Glazing Panels
OVERVIEW:
GlazeGuard®1000 FR is a composite
panel made by laminating either
textured or smooth aluminum skins
(or porcelain enamel steel) to a
tempered hardboard stabilizer. This
stabilizer, along with a Type-X
gypsum board, surround a core
of polyisocyanurate foam.
Panels are furnished with a
strippable film (or interleafed
microfoam) on the painted surfaces
to protect the finish during shipment
and installation.
GlazeGuard®1000 FR is installed in
aluminum glazing/storefront channels
(typically on setting blocks) and
sealed using gaskets. No mechanical
fasteners or adhesives are used
in the installation of the panel.
BASIC USES & APPLICATIONS:
As an alternative or complement
to glass, GlazeGuard® panels
provide an excellent choice for use
as glazing infill, spandrel panels,
modesty screens/door light panels,
and railing inserts. These panels are
typically used on various types of
buildings including schools and
universities, retail complexes,
storefront conditions etc... However,
with a fire resistant composition, an
impact resistant stabilizer, and a
foam core, GlazeGuard®1000 FR
panels are ideal for any other
application where increased thermal
properties, durability, and safety are
concerns.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS:
GlazeGuard® panels are designed to
be installed in glazing channels or
other similar channels where all four
edges are sealed. The panels are
not eligible for use as a wall cladding
or system. No moldings are available
for use with GlazeGuard®
panels.
SYSTEM FINISHES:
GlazeGuard® 1000 FR panels are
available with either smooth or
textured prefinished aluminum or
porcelain enamel steel skins.
Standard colors in textured skins are
offered with a coil coated polyester.
Premium colors are also available
with an acrylic urethane coating.
Smooth standard and metallic colors
are furnished with a durable Kynar
500® coating. Anodized finishes are
also standard.
Whether smooth or textured, both
finishes can be ordered in custom
colors to match customers’ standard.
Porcelain enamel steel is available in
both standard and premium colors.

FEATURES & BENEFITS:
As a line of glazing infill solutions, GlazeGuard® offers a number of
benefits to the building owner, architect, and installer including:
- Fire Resistant
A Type-X gypsum board provides
additional fire resistance for areas
with more stringent requirements
(i.e. educational facilities, etc.).
- Low Maintenance
Little or no maintenance is
required and most grease, dirt,
oil, and other foreign material can
be easily cleaned from the surface.
- Durable
Whether installed in new or retrofit
applications, the tempered hard-
board stabilizer provides superior
impact and dent resistance.
- Versatile
With a complete line of options,
GlazeGuard® panels offer
solutions for water and fire
resistant compositions in addition
to the standard panel.
- Variety Of Finish Options
GlazeGuard® panels are available
in a wide range of colors and
finishes. From solid tones in
textured aluminum and porcelain
enamel steel to metallic and
anodized finishes in smooth skins,
these panels provide the designer
with a broad palette to work from.
