ADVERTISEMENT San Francisco’s Union Square is known for the largest collection of department stores, upscale boutiques, hotels and fine dining. Adding to this famed hub is the Central Subway – Union Square Market Street Station featuring a 2-hour fire rated floor system by SAFTI FIRST®.

The new design features a glass floor on the surface of Union Square that would also act as a light well. In order to comply with fire rated code requirements, the transparent floor needed to meet a 2-hour fire resistive rating.

The GPX® FireFloor System is a complete fire resistive glass and framing assembly that meets ASTM E-119/UL 263 up to 2 hours. It has the largest tested individual glass panel sizes and features a top loaded design for easy installation. Proudly USA-made and listed by UL and Intertek.

ADVERTISEMENT The kSA Inline Glass Breakage Detection System is a vision-based metrology system that determines Go/No-Go (Pass/Fail) conditions for every glass lite and panel it inspects inline during processing.

The system compares glass lites against user-defined parameters and tolerances in a master specification reference to identify defects such as cracks, chips, scratches, digs, and pinholes.

• The custom frame enclosure houses a linescan camera, LED lights, and photoeyes.
• The camera vision system captures images of the panels as they pass by the instrument on a conveyor.
• LED lights illuminate the panels to help distinguish between defects and minor irregularities.
• Photoeyes detect the leading and trailing edges of the panels to trigger the system to start and stop data collection.
• High-resolution encoders trigger spatially-resolved linescans as the panel moves under the LED lighting, generating an image of the panel for processing and defect detection.
• The CPU provides image processing and data storage capabilities.

ADVERTSEMENT To meet the growing need for safer school and institutional environments, Technical Glass Products (TGP), a brand of Allegion, introduces the Fireframes Designer Guard™ System. The multifunctional system is the first fire-rated full-lite glass door system in North America certified to forced entry standards. All components have been system tested together to ASTM E2395, the industry benchmark for forced-entry resistance, and Intertek certified to verify all components perform as intended. To meet the dual need for life safety, the Fireframes Designer Guard System is available with fire ratings up to 60 minutes. It is ideal for school applications, detention centers, institutional buildings and anywhere a security- and fire-rated door system is required.

The Fireframes Designer Guard System consists of a die-rolled steel profile swinging door with sidelite(s) and emulates the appearance of a narrow-profile aluminum storefront. Its durable welded steel frame features precise edges and a professional finish. Glazing consists of FireLite Plus® Forced Entry IGU, a laminated fire-rated glass ceramic that provides impact safety and forced-entry resistance. With narrow frame profiles, clear fire-rated glazing and system specific components, the Fireframes Designer Guard System provides a seamless aesthetic with adjacent non-fire-rated doors. Combining fire safety, security and high design in one product, it is a turnkey solution for building and design professionals working to bolster safety in school and institutional projects.
