Fire-Rated Glass Installation Las Vegas
Silver State Glass & Mirror installs fire-rated glass assemblies for commercial buildings in Las Vegas. Fire-rated glazing is required by building codes in specific locations — stairwells, corridors, lobby walls, elevator enclosures, and any wall assembly that must maintain a fire-resistance rating.
We supply and install the complete fire-rated assembly: glass, framing, hardware, and labeling. Every installation meets IBC, NFPA, and Clark County fire code requirements. NV License #0050868.
Call (702) 382-1400 for fire-rated glass pricing and consultation.
Fire-Rated Glass Products We Install
Wired Glass. Traditional fire-rated glass with an embedded wire mesh. Rated for up to 90 minutes in approved frames. Being phased out for impact safety concerns but still code-compliant in many applications.
Ceramic Glass (Pyran, Neoceram). Clear fire-rated glass without visible wire. Withstands thermal shock and is rated for 20 to 180 minutes depending on the product. Higher clarity than wired glass.
Tempered Fire-Rated Glass. Fire-rated glass that also meets impact safety requirements (CPSC 16 CFR 1201). Used where both fire rating and human impact safety are required — doors, sidelites, and glass near walking surfaces.
Fire-Rated Insulated Glass Units (IGUs). Dual-pane fire-rated assemblies that provide both fire resistance and thermal insulation. Used in exterior walls and curtain wall systems that require fire ratings.
Where Fire-Rated Glass Is Required
Building codes require fire-rated glazing in specific locations. Common applications in Las Vegas commercial buildings include:
- Stairwell enclosures and exit corridors
- Elevator lobby walls and smoke barriers
- Fire-rated wall assemblies with glazed openings
- Doors in fire-rated partitions (20, 45, 60, or 90-minute ratings)
- Sidelites adjacent to fire-rated doors
- Transoms above fire-rated doors
- Property line walls with required fire separation
The required fire rating depends on the wall assembly classification, building occupancy type, and the specific code provisions that apply to the opening.
Complete Fire-Rated Assemblies
Fire-rated glass only works as part of a complete rated assembly. The glass, frame, hardware, and glazing method must all be listed and tested together. You cannot simply put fire-rated glass into a standard aluminum frame and call it rated.
We install complete assemblies including:
- Fire-rated steel frames — hollow metal frames with proper anchoring and fire-stopping
- Fire-rated aluminum frames — thermally improved aluminum systems with intumescent gaskets
- Fire-rated doors — complete door assemblies with rated glass, frames, hardware, and labeling
- Fire-rated glazing gaskets and sealants — intumescent materials that expand during fire to seal the opening
Every fire-rated assembly we install includes the required labels and documentation for inspection.
