Pyroguard secures Intertek listings for Forster profiles in the Middle East

Pyroguard has achieved Intertek certification for a wide range of its fire-rated glazing systems in collaboration with Forster steel profiles, marking a significant step forward in the company’s expansion across the Middle East. The newly certified systems, tested to EN 1364-1 and EN 1634-1 standards for applications such as curtain walling and screens, are now listed on Spec Direct – Intertek, a leading Middle East building product certification database, and available to Forster’s accredited fabricator network across the region. 

The certifications follow a successful test and audit programme covering a range of Pyroguard products by Intertek in accredited laboratories, widening the company’s scope of compliance with regional building codes and fire safety standards. 

Lee Coates, Pyroguard’s Business Development Director for the region, said: “We’re delighted to have secured these Intertek listings, which represent a major milestone in our Middle East growth strategy. Working closely with Forster Profile Systems, we can now offer specifiers and contractors a wider choice of fully certified fire safety glazing solutions to support code-compliant project delivery.” 

The listings include large-format sizes, butt-jointed applications and 30, 60, 90 and 120-minute fire rated systems, as well as a range of 30 and 60-minute products from Pyroguard Advance, the company’s latest range of cuttable fire safety glass, featuring an innovative gel interlayer for exceptional fire protection. Many of these certified products are already stocked locally and readily available for quick distribution across the region.  

With 40 years’ experience and a proven track record across timber, steel and aluminium applications, Pyroguard operates manufacturing sites in the UK and France and serves markets globally. The company also provides full Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to support LEED and BREEAM accreditations.
