What is Fire-Resistant Joinery? Where is it Used?
Fire safety is one of the most critical elements in the design of modern structures. Especially in buildings with high human density, the use of appropriate structural systems is of great importance for containing fires and ensuring safe evacuation. At this point, fire-resistant joinery systems stand out as one of the fundamental components of structural safety.
What is Fire-Resistant Joinery?
Fire-resistant joinery is door, window, fixed partition, and facade systems consisting of special aluminum profile systems and fire-resistant glass designed to prevent the passage of flames, smoke, and heat to other areas for a specified period during a fire.
These systems, in the event of a fire:
• Retard the spread of flame
• Limit the passage of smoke
• Keep heat transfer under control
• Provide time for safe evacuation of building occupants
Fire-resistant joinery systems are generally classified according to their fire resistance durations of EI30, EI60, EI90, and EI120 minutes.
Procural Fire-Resistant Aluminum Systems
In fire-resistant joinery solutions, Procural aluminum systems stand out with their high-performance and aesthetic offerings.
Procural fire-resistant systems;
• Fire-resistant aluminum door systems
• Fire-resistant glass partition systems
• Fire-resistant facade solutions
• Fire-resistant fixed glass systems
offer solutions for different architectural needs.
The systems can be produced in fire resistance classes EI30, EI60, EI90, and EI120, providing both security and architectural transparency in projects.
Advantages of Fire-Resistant Window Systems
Procural fire-resistant aluminum systems combine safety and aesthetics in modern structures.
Key advantages:
• Delays fire and smoke spread
• Preserves the spaciousness of spaces with transparent glass designs
• Offers aesthetic solutions compatible with architectural projects
• Complies with international testing and certification standards
• Are long-lasting and durable structural systems
Where is Fire-Resistant Joinery Used?
Fire-resistant joinery systems are particularly preferred in structures where fire safety is critical.
Main areas of use:
Hospitals
Fire-resistant glass partitions and doors are used in corridors, around the operating theater, and in escape routes to prevent the spread of fire.
Hotels
Safe zones are created with fire-resistant systems in floor corridors, technical spaces, and escape routes.
Shopping Malls
Fire compartmentalization is provided between store areas and common areas.
Office and Commercial Buildings
In modern office designs, both aesthetics and safety are ensured with transparent glass fire partitions.
Industrial Facilities
To control the fire risk in production and storage areas, fire-resistant systems are preferred.
