Pyroguard launches fire-rated balustrade glass range

Pyroguard has developed a thinner, lighter glass specifically for balustrades that achieves A2 fire-rated performance and contains less encapsulated CO₂, in partnership with Q-railing. 

The Pyroguard Balustrades Evo range has been introduced to meet the growing demand for cost-effective, environmentally responsible glazed balustrade products without compromising performance or aesthetic appeal.  Suitable for new commercial installations or retrofit projects, the range offers a competitively priced alternative to aluminium railing style solutions. 

Pyroguard Balustrades Evo reduces the interlayer thickness from 3mm to 1.5mm, matching overall glass thicknesses of standard laminate equivalents – while delivering superior line load capabilities. The range includes streamlined options such as 13.5mm, 17.5mm, 21.5mm and 25.5mm for 1.5kN/m line loads – with a weight saving of up to 6%. 

It also offers a light transmission improvement compared to the existing Pyroguard Balustrades range and an embodied carbon improvement of up to 7.5%. Existing Pyroguard Balustrades glass thicknesses will continue to be available.
