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.

Fire resistive glazing

CONTRAFLAM One has three key advantages:

  1. Light transmission of up to 90%.
  2. Its impact on the environment is lighter, with up to 35% less embodied carbon than conventional multi-chamber products.
  3. It is light weight, which allows for faster installation, saving time and money on the job site.

CONTRAFLAM One is distinguished by a single-chamber foaming interlayer for all fire-resistance ratings, called HYBRIDCORE Technology.
