More About Fire Rated Glass
Fire rated glass is used in building doors and windows and can help keep flames and smoke from spreading from one room to another. Standard window glass will break when it reaches 250 degrees F. Tempered glass can last to about 500 degrees F. Fire rated ceramic glass can survive heat in excess of 1600 degrees F.
The term “fire-rated glass” refers to the complete set of fire-rated glazing products available in the market. Within that wide category, designers can choose from both “fire-protective” and “fire-resistive” glazing products, depending on their project’s requirements.
Fire Protective
Fire protective means the glazing defends against the spread of flames and smoke for its designated fire rating. Fire-protective glazing typically is available with fire ratings ranging from 20 to 180 minutes, with varying impact safety ratings. Since it does not block the transfer of radiant and conductive heat, it is subject to area and size limitations under the applicable building code.
Fire Resistive
Fire resistive glass provides the same defense against flames and smoke as fire-protective glazing, but adds further protection by blocking the transfer of radiant and conductive heat.
FireLite NT (3/16” thick) and FireLite Plus (5/16” thick) are considered fire protective and not a barrier to radiant heat.

FireLite® Fire Rated Glass FAQS
Fire rated glass has been designed to act as a barrier to the spread of flames and smoke. Ratings are given based on the length of time the glass remains intact. Fire-rated glass ratings range from 20 minutes up to three hours, depending on the product and framing system.
FireLite® is a fire-rated glass ceramic. It is a wireless product looks like ordinary window glass. FireLite® provides fire ratings from 20 minutes to 3 hours, and come in sizes up to 24 square feet per lite. Glass ceramics such as FireLite® can withstand the thermal shock of water from sprinklers or fire hoses. Where impact safety is required, they are available with up to Category II (CPSC 16CFR 1201) impact-safety ratings
“Fire-protective” means the glass defends against the spread of flames and smoke.
“Fire-resistive” glass provides the same defense as fire-protective glass and protects further by blocking the transfer of radiant and conductive heat.
No, To manufacture / cut FireLite® glass, Peninsula Glass (OneDayGlass.com) had to be approved as a TGP (Technical Glass Products) manufacturing location and work under TGP’s UL Listing File. This includes undergoing regular UL inspections. FireLite products must be permanently marked or etched, indicating testing and hourly rating compliance in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.® (UL) Classification Cards. The mark also serves to identify the UL File number for easy reference by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) in the field.
Standard Grade – Polished for a surface quality that is comparable to alternative fire-rated ceramics marketed as having a premium finish.

FireLite NT is a 3/16” (5 mm) thick fire-rated and impact safety-rated glazing material, composed of FireLite and fire-rated surface-applied film. It is listed for use in doors, sidelites, transoms and borrowed lites. Fire-rated for up to 180 minutes with required hose stream test.
FireLite Plus is a 5/16” (8 mm) thick laminated fire-rated and impact safety-rated glazing material. It is listed for use in doors, sidelites, transoms and borrowed lites. Fire-rated for up to 180 minutes with required hose stream test.
Yes, there is a limited manufacturer warranty offered by Technical Glass Products. FireLite® Plus has a limited 5 year warranty and FireLite® NT has a limited 3 year warranty. See https://www.fireglass.com/resources/care-warranty/doc/warranty.pdf for further details.
Temperature-rise doors are designed to limit heat transfer from one side of the door to the other. It is a measurement of the rise in temperature above ambient temperature of the non-exposed side of the door during the first 30 minutes of a standard fire test. The lower the degrees, the better the rating.
