PRODUCT PRESENTATION
VETROTECH Saint-Gobain offers a full line of clear, fire and safety rated glazing products, from SGG PYROSWISS, to the SGG KERALITE FR^® family of glass-ceramics, to the SGG SWISSFLAM–N2 line that resist fire, water (hose stream test), and acts as a barrier to radiant heat. Also, the new and improved SGG CONTRAFLAM-N2, the original clear, fire and safety rated product.

APPLICATIONS
VETROTECH products can be used in all glazing applications where building codes require a specified level of fire protection. VETROTECH offers products to meet the highest level of impact safety, CPSC CAT II, which means these products are perfect for use in schools and other areas subject to human impact. VETROTECH products are listed for use in standard fire rated doors and framing systems (wood and steel) and also with the new VDS Framing system.

BENEFITS
VETROTECH products make it possible for architects and designers to specify clear, wire-free aesthetics that balance cost and performance against design and code requirements.

OTHER PRODUCTS OFFERED

• VDS Framing is fabricated in the US based on European technology, is easy to install, offers reduced sightlines and is listed up to 2-hour fire rating.

Multifunction
Today’s building elements increasingly demand glazing materials offering select fire resistant properties combined with the multifunctional and aesthetic qualities of high performance architectural glass. Vetrotech Saint-Gobain fire resisting glass may be combined with an ever increasing selection of functional and decorative glass from the SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS COMFORT, DESIGN, VISION, SYSTEMS and PROTECT product ranges. This tremendous flexibility helps bring down design barriers in order to achieve safe, functional and aesthetic glazed fire resistive design solutions.

Impact Safety
In the early 1980’s,we revolutionized the industry with the introduction of SGG CONTRAFLAM^® and SGG PYROSWISS^® – the original products to combine both accidental human impact safety glazing characteristics and clear fire resistance properties. Today, this once unique “life safety philosophy” has become the accepted performance standard worldwide and an integral part of a great many national building codes. All Vetrotech fire rated glass products satisfy accidental human impact safety glazing requirements.

• ANSI Z97.1
• CPSC 16 CFR 120I category I + II
