CODE CONSIDERATIONS IN FIRE-RATED GLASS
TIM NASS, SAFTI FIRST
Tim Nass of Safti First will present “Code Considerations of Fire Rated Glass” at Glass Connections, the Canadian Glass Association’s annual conference taking place June 7 and 8 in Burnaby, B.C.

With the advent of new and better performing fire rated glazing products in the market today, there is much confusion on which products are appropriate for certain applications based on current code requirements. This program aims to:

1. Review the National Building Code and fire test requirements when designing for life safety
2. Understand the relationship between fire safety and human impact safety
3. Clarify the difference between fire protective vs. fire resistive glazing products as it relates to protecting people and property
4. Provide attendees with the latest fire-rated glazing product information
