SNOQUALMIE, Wash., Sept. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- To meet increased demand
for fire-rated glass in hollow metal and wood doors, Air Louvers, a
division of Activar Construction Products Group, is now an OEM
partner of Technical Glass Products (TGP), a brand of Allegion. As
a result, Air Louvers offers FireLite®, FireLite Plus®, FireLite®
NT and WireLite® NT fire-rated glass from their Bloomington, Minn., and Commerce, Calif., facilities.
"Pairing TGP's fire-rated glazing products
with Air Louvers' fire-rated vision lites give specifiers the
ability to create fire-rated door systems that meet code
requirements without compromising design intent," says Devin Bowman, general manager at TGP.
Since 1988, the family of FireLite products have provided
specifiers with a fire-rated solution that supports visual
connection throughout the built environment. With this proven track
record, these products meet Air Louvers reputation for quality
while broadening their customers' options for code-compliant
fire-rated glazing within fire door systems. The expanded
distribution provides architects, glaziers and other building and
design professionals with quick access to a wider range of
fire-rated glazing solutions.
"Pairing TGP's fire-rated glazing products with Air Louvers'
fire-rated vision lites gives specifiers the ability to create
fire-rated door systems that meet code requirements without
compromising design intent," says Devin
Bowman, general manager at TGP. "Both TGP and Air Louvers
have over 50 years of experience in the industry—experience that is
punctuated with a culture of service and reputation for quality.
This pairing ensures a smooth process for specifiers, installers
and facility managers from the planning phase to well after
installation."
Greg Kamman, president of Air
Louvers, echoes these sentiments, "With TGP, our ability to give
building professionals extensive glazing options for a wide range
of designs and building code needs has increased. Both companies
are and have been leaders in our industries for decades, so we are
confident that this collaboration will provide our customers with
high-quality, fire-rated solutions backed by knowledgeable experts
and premium service."
FireLite is a clear and wireless glass ceramic that offers
outstanding fire protection. Fire ratings for FireLite®, FireLite
Plus®, FireLite® NT range from 20 to 180 minutes, and all pass the
required hose stream test. In addition, FireLite Plus and FireLite
NT offer high impact safety ratings (meeting CPSC 16 CFR 1201,
Category II requirements). FireLite products feature TGP's ultraHD®
Technology for improved color, clarity and surface quality.
An alternative fire-rated solution for select applications,
WireLite NT® is an impact-safety-rated (ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR
1201) glazing product that also provides fire ratings for up to 90
minutes with required hose stream test. WireLite NT is listed for
use in doors, sidelites, transoms and borrowed lites.
