1. No distinction between fireproof glass and fireproof glass partition
Some buildings require both fireproof separation and aesthetic transparency during design, so fireproof glass partitions are used as fireproof separation measures, such as boutique partitions in performance-based commercial pedestrian streets, glass firewalls in large commercial spaces, and viewing windows in viewing shafts. However, designers often mark them as fireproof glass rather than fireproof glass partitions on the drawings. Fireproof glass partitions are composed of fireproof components such as fireproof glass, frames, sealing materials, and pads, and are a complete system. Fireproof glass is only a component of fireproof glass partitions. It must be installed in combination with inlaid frames and fireproof sealing materials to form fireproof glass partitions and meet the corresponding fire resistance limit standards of the specifications.
2. Issues that should be noted when adding sprinkler protection to fireproof glass
There are many problems in design and construction. For example, some shops on both sides of the commercial pedestrian street directly make decoration shapes on the fireproof glass, which affects the effect of sprinkler water distribution; some install sprinklers under the decorated brand door heads, which affects the heat collection of sprinklers; some door heads are installed between fireproof glass and sprinklers, causing obstruction; some construction units did not set up the pipes of the sprinkler protection system separately, and shared the same pipes with other sprinklers, resulting in the amount of sprinkler water and duration not meeting the design requirements; some construction units used the wrong type of sprinkler. In short, during construction, it should be ensured that the sprinklers can effectively protect the fireproof glass used for separation in a timely manner, which should be noted.
