Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to the problem of fire safety, and it is also required to install protective facilities in buildings. What is easy to confuse is the fireproof window and glass fireproof partition, both of which literally have the function of fire prevention. What are the specific differences between fireproof window and glass fireproof partition? Can they replace each other? I have made a detailed summary for you today. Let's take a look.

1、 Difference between fireproof window and glass fireproof partition

1. Different manufacturing processes

Fireproof windows are often manufactured by sheet metal bending process for single window frames, without square tubes and other stiffeners, so they are not suitable for large-area splicing. General fireproof windows are made of steel, plastic steel, aluminum alloy, wood, etc. The sealing material between the fireproof window, frame and fireproof glass shall be fire-resistant material, and the hardware fittings shall be the approved supporting products that have passed the test, which can play the role of fire prevention and smoke separation in case of fire;

The fireproof glass partition generally has a large area. In order to ensure the safety of use, the frame material is embedded with square tubes, and the overall fork connection process is adopted to make the product durable and stable.

2. Different fire rating

Fireproof windows can be divided into Grade A, Grade B and Grade C. Different fire ratings have different fire resistance times of fireproof windows. According to relevant regulations, the fire resistance time of Class A fireproof window shall not be less than 1.5 hours, that of Class B fireproof window shall not be less than 1 hour, and that of Class C fireproof window shall not be less than 0.5 hours.

However, the glass fireproof partition can only withstand fire for 1 hour in general, so when choosing the glass partition, consumers must be clear about the fire resistance time requirements of the required parts.

3. Different application scope

Fireproof window refers to the window that can meet the requirements of fire resistance stability and fire resistance integrity together with the frame within a certain period of time. When lighting and ventilation are required on the exterior walls of two buildings with insufficient fire separation, or between spaces separated by firewalls, fireproof windows shall be used. Fireproof windows are mainly used on firewalls of high-rise buildings.

The fireproof glass partition adopts galvanized steel plate or stainless steel as the frame material, and the interior is inlaid with Grade A grouting fireproof glass. The product is set up on a large area of fireproof partition wall, and the area of a single frame can reach 3 meters wide and high, and the splicing length can reach tens of meters. It is suitable for large commercial buildings and can be used as a large area of non load bearing fireproof glass partition wall.

4. The overall decoration effect is different

Generally, the parts that can be partitioned with glass for fire protection are those with large openings or firewalls, which are also places with more elegant overall decoration. When using the overall partition, because of the large area of glass, good splicing technology, it is more beautiful;

When multiple fireproof windows are used for welding and assembly, they must first be made according to the window types, such as Japanese type, Tian type, Pinzi type, etc. The glass is divided by size, and the whole glass is not as beautiful as the former. In addition, there are welding spots left on the welding surface of the fireproof window, which will still leave traces after polishing. The decoration effect is not so good, but the practicability is strong.

2、 The fireproof window and glass fireproof partition cannot be replaced each other

Both fireproof windows and glass fireproof partitions belong to building fire-resistant isolation facilities. They have a high similarity, and some consumers are easy to confuse. Due to various factors, the duration of design and installation may be replaced by each other. However, the use safety of fireproof window is much higher than that of glass fireproof partition, and the fire resistance limit is several times more than that of glass fireproof partition, which is a formal fire safety facility. Therefore, the fireproof window and glass fireproof partition cannot simply replace each other, and the specific use should be determined according to the actual situation.

The difference between fire-proof windows and glass fire-proof partitions is what is introduced in the above small series. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. Generally speaking, the vast majority of fireproof windows currently used in the market are steel and stainless steel. At the same time, as the fireproof partition frame material, they are also mainly made of the above two materials. The interior is also inlaid with fireproof glass. The simple visual distinction is that the size of the single window of the fireproof window is small, while the size of the glass fireproof partition is large.
