Steel Fire Rated outside Doors and Wall Partition

Fire-rated glazing  (swing and automatic  sliding doors)

For resistance in highly frequented areas, the forster  fuego light glazed steel door offers fire protection and  security protection for high-quality and safe architectural  solutions. It is suitable for buildings heavily frequented  by the public, like shopping centers, hospitals, schools,  airports, and tourist hot spots. The slim steel-and-glass  construction provides an attractive appearance with  high glass transparency and is durable and robust.

Fire-rated glazed  partitions and screens

The flush-mounted glass panels combined with forster  fuego light feature the tried-and-tested fire resistance  function EI30–EI120 while also representing an  aesthetically pleasing design element with a large  amount of glazing. The elegant, slim steel profiles  allow for a transparent, open interior design, perfect  for contemporary architecture.

Butt joint glazing option  (glass-on-glass design)

The glass elements can be installed with a minimum  butt joint, to form an entirely transparent, even and  stylish glass front.
