iQ PROTECT Smoke

Smoke-resistant glass walls with S200 or Sa classification

Fully transparent glass walls that meet the latest strict requirements for the smoke resistance of walls and doors in non-residential buildings. iQ PROTECT Smoke walls have a profile of only 33 mm in view. Vertical studs are, in principle, not required in smoke-resistant wall systems, so that a high degree of transparency is obtained.

iQ PROTECT Smoke is available in different glass thicknesses. By using thicker glass, possibly provided with an acoustic foil between the glass, sound insulation values ​​are considerably increased. Where extra high glass walls are required, thicker glass provides extra stability and strength of the smoke-resistant glass wall.

In the Dutch Besluit Bouwwerken Leefomgeving (BBL) strict requirements are set for the smoke resistance of compartments, whereby separate requirements apply for both cold and warm smoke. Depending on the type of building and use, it is determined which classification is required.

iQ PROTECT Smoke Sa  glass walls are suitable for installation where a Sa Classification is required. These are ‘non-sleeping buildings’ such as offices. Here one assumes smoke with the temperature of the environment, or “cold smoke”.

iQ PROTECT Smoke S200 glass walls are suitable for installation where an S200 classification is required. These are mainly buildings in which people sleep, such as hospitals, hotels and nurseries. This is based on smoke resistance at a temperature of 200 °C, or “warm smoke”.
