In the early 1980s, we revolutionized the industry with the
introduction of SGG CONTRAFLAM®
and SGG PYROSWISS® -
the original products to combine both accidental human impact safety glazing
characteristics and clear fire-resistance properties. Today, this once unique
"life safety philosophy" has become the accepted performance standard worldwide
and an integral part of a great many national building codes. All Vetrotech
fire-rated glass products satisfy accidental human impact safety glazing
requirements.
