Air Louvers Expands Fire Door Options with Fire-Rated Products from TGP TGP and Air Louvers Continue a Legacy of Quality Fire Doors
SNOQUALMIE, Wash., Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- To meet increased demand for fire-rated glass in hollow metal and wood doors, Air Louvers, a division of Activar Construction Products Group, is now an OEM partner of Technical Glass Products (TGP), a brand of Allegion. As a result, Air Louvers offers FireLite®, FireLite Plus®, FireLite® NT and WireLite® NT fire-rated glass from their Bloomington, Minn., and Commerce, Calif., facilities.
Since 1988, the family of FireLite products have provided specifiers with a fire-rated solution that supports visual connection throughout the built environment. With this proven track record, these products meet Air Louvers reputation for quality while broadening their customers' options for code-compliant fire-rated glazing within fire door systems. The expanded distribution provides architects, glaziers and other building and design professionals with quick access to a wider range of fire-rated glazing solutions.
"Pairing TGP's fire-rated glazing products with Air Louvers' fire-rated vision lites gives specifiers the ability to create fire-rated door systems that meet code requirements without compromising design intent," says Devin Bowman, general manager at TGP. "Both TGP and Air Louvers have over 50 years of experience in the industry—experience that is punctuated with a culture of service and reputation for quality. This pairing ensures a smooth process for specifiers, installers and facility managers from the planning phase to well after installation."
Greg Kamman, president of Air Louvers, echoes these sentiments, "With TGP, our ability to give building professionals extensive glazing options for a wide range of designs and building code needs has increased. Both companies are and have been leaders in our industries for decades, so we are confident that this collaboration will provide our customers with high-quality, fire-rated solutions backed by knowledgeable experts and premium service."
FireLite is a clear and wireless glass ceramic that offers outstanding fire protection. Fire ratings for FireLite®, FireLite Plus®, FireLite® NT range from 20 to 180 minutes, and all pass the required hose stream test. In addition, FireLite Plus and FireLite NT offer high impact safety ratings (meeting CPSC 16 CFR 1201, Category II requirements). FireLite products feature TGP's ultraHD® Technology for improved color, clarity and surface quality.
An alternative fire-rated solution for select applications, WireLite NT® is an impact-safety-rated (ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201) glazing product that also provides fire ratings for up to 90 minutes with required hose stream test.
