Fire – resistant glass is a special type of glass processed through a special process. It can maintain integrity and heat insulation during the specified fire – resistance test. It is mainly used to control the spread of fire, block smoke and high temperature, and gain time for personnel evacuation and fire rescue.

It is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the building height, the area of fire compartments, and the requirements of local fire protection codes.
Yes and no. Glass is not an ideal conductor of sound, so thicker glass generally makes it harder for sound to pass through. However, sound waves of specific frequencies can cause a “resonance phenomenon” with the glass. This phenomenon amplifies noise, and glass of any thickness has its own resonant frequency. Therefore, no matter how thick the glass is, there will always be a frequency at which the glass actually amplifies noise. This is why soundproof window systems often use two panes of glass of different thicknesses—to counteract each other’s resonant frequencies.
