Sleek Fire-Rated Systems Elevate Design at Costco’s New HQ

ADVERTISEMENT

At Costco’s new 624,000-sq.-ft. Building 4 in Issaquah, WA, expansive glazing defines the open, collaborative environment. To meet code without sacrificing visibility, designers turned to Fireframes® Curtainwall Series and Fireframes® Designer Series full-lite doors with Pilkington Pyrostop®  fire-rated glass. Installed on Levels 1 and 9 of each main stairwell, these assemblies provide up to 120 minutes of fire protection while preserving openness. The slim steel profiles match adjacent non-rated systems for seamless visual flow, enhancing sightlines and wayfinding. TGP’s fire-rated solutions allow form and function to coexist—ensuring safety without compromising design.

Panelized curtain wall system

Safti First introduces the patent-pending, panelized SAFTI-EZ-ARC, designed for use in non-rated or fire-rated applications. SAFTI-EZ-ARC is the first U.S.-made, truly panelized, versatile structurally glazed curtain wall system. Two versions were developed to satisfy non-rated and fire-rated applications: SAFTI-EZ-ARC is a unique panelized system that will provide ease of installation in a curtain wall, while the SAFTI-EZ-ARC-FR is an ASTM E-119/UL 263 fire-resistive rated version recently successfully tested and listed by UL up to 2 hours. Additional testing is scheduled to meet hurricane, blast and tornado requirements.
