Fire-Rated Framing Systems
Forster steel frames eliminate the historically bulky, institutional look of fire-rated framing. The sleek profiles (available in a stainless steel finish or with standard/custom powder coat colors) allow for maximized glass sizes, along with substantially improved sightlines. Our rigorously tested, Intertek listed, complete profile systems are also environmentally friendly & sustainable.
The AGC Pyrobel® Vision Line Butt-Glazed System delivers an unbroken line of sight with a narrow joint (4mm) , while also meeting strict code requirements. It’s Cradle to Cradle Certified™, with stable, non-insulated fire-resistive glass construction for maximum performance. AGC Pyrobel® Vision Line can be used as a frameless option for walls, or in combination with Forster steel fire-rated frames.
Mind the gap! The AGC Pyrobel® Vision Line butt-glazed system by McGrory Glass delivers an unbroken line of sight with a narrow joint (4mm), while also meeting strict code requirements. It can be used in combination with Forster steel fire-rated frames for gorgeous, seemingly unbroken, vistas.
