Fleming is pleased to partner with Vetrotech, a Saint-Gobain company to provide E119 Fire Resistive Framing Solutions to meet the International Building Code (IBC) for fire resistive requirements.
Fleming E119 Fire Resistive product offering includes Narrow Stile and Rail Doors, Interior Curtain Wall, level 3 bullet resistance, sound rated glass and more. Our partner Vetrotech, a Saint-Gobain company provides fire resistive solutions to meet the CAN4 S101. Fire resistive frames and glazing block the passage of flames and unlike fire protective products, also block the passage of radiant heat and thermal energy. This type of solution is required by code for transom, sidelight and fire window frames with greater than a 45 minute rating or where the glazed area exceeds 25% of the wall area.
Fleming Fire Resistive Frame Assemblies are tested in the same manner as other materials used to build fire rated walls. Incorporating certified E119 Fire Resistive Solutions in projects allows more glazing in walls which increases natural daylighting in the building and conforms to the IBC requirements for fire safety.
E119 Frame products from Fleming Door are available for purchase in the Canadian market only.
