transparent fire protection manufacturer
A manufacturer of fire-safe glass installed for safety in windows, doors, and walls.
A transparent fire protection supplier is a manufacturer of fire protection glass for windows, doors, and walls. The glass itself must be capable of serving as a fire barrier, and it must be installed to optimize visibility in case of a fire.
The glass combines a fire-barrier function with visibility through the installed product. Its transparency alone is insufficient: the glass itself must also serve the fire-protection purpose described above.
A glass fabricator supplies glass generally. This definition identifies the fire-protection application, while a fire protection manufacturer supplies other equipment and systems for preventing or controlling fires.
