The glass industry is among the most
advanced industries in terms of import substitution (share of imports by major types
glass products no more than 10%). The modern glass factories built over the past 10 years have made it possible to almost completely replace the import of glass
Russian products. Moreover, building glass is
one of the few types of products of the Russian building materials industry that are competitive in the world
markets and exported abroad.
MORE GLASS
Glass is the main element of modern window structures, which allows providing not only technical properties, such as access to natural light and protection from the external environment, energy saving, but also giving buildings and structures an expressive and diverse architectural look.
The architectural properties of glass make it possible to give buildings an attractive appearance, to create diversity during construction due to the huge number of glass varieties: polished, rolled, colored (tinted), patterned, laminated, reinforced, tempered, coated glass, energy-saving,
glass for stained-glass windows.
Today, architects and developers are happy to use glass elements of windows and facades in projects, and the size of window structures is constantly growing.
Such glazing gives buildings an expensive and prestigious appearance, favorably distinguishes buildings
against the backdrop of urban development.
IMPORTANT SECURITY
However, in addition to performing architectural functions, to give buildings an attractive and individual look, glazing should provide comfortable and safe conditions for people in it. Transparent structures must maintain the necessary temperature and light conditions, the level of sound insulation, protect
from adverse environmental influences, they must be strong and durable, to ensure fire safety.
To prevent damage to the glass, it is necessary to use safe tempered and laminated glass, as well as fireproof glass. This is especially important
for social facilities (schools, kindergartens, hospitals, clinics) and
objects with a massive presence of people (sports, entertainment and cultural
constructions, shopping centers). At these facilities must be

the composition of which included the heads of glass industry enterprises and the chairman of the technical committee for standardization of TK 41 "Glass". The working group is organized to improve and develop the domestic industrial processing of glass
and promoting wider use of translucent structures, safe
and fire glass.
CLOSER TO THE CONSUMER
The range of glass products is constantly updated, becoming more
popular, modern and high-tech. Accordingly, technologies, equipment and accessories are being improved. It is important to keep architects, designers and developers informed of new opportunities in a timely manner.
the use of modern types of glasses and structures based on them. One of
major international events where market professionals can find out
about the latest trends and discuss current issues, is the annual forum
“Glass and modern technologies”, conducted by the Glass Union of Russia.
Products made of sheet glass, foam glass, fiberglass and other segments of the glass industry are unique material, but consumers do not always know about
all the possibilities that this material provides, and how to properly
use. In addition, the innovative development of the glass industry allows us to offer consumers new, more modern types of glass: tempered and molded glass in large formats, coated glass of new types, smart smart glass,
highly transparent and high-strength glass, glass with ceramic printing, safety and fire-prevention glass, electrochromic, electrically heated and many others
types of glass products.
The use of glass in the interior of buildings is actively developing - this

showers. Given the trend in the use of large glass products and
designs, technology and equipment for safe
glass mounting. Modern glass products are structural materials,
including supporting and interfloor structures.
WHAT'S IN TREND?
The most dynamically developing segments of modern glasses are
such directions as:
- fire-prevention glass;
- the so-called “smart” glasses (primarily smart glass);
- high-tech glass - for example, electrically heated glass.
At first glance, fire-prevention glass cannot be distinguished from ordinary. However, its surface is highly resistant to high temperatures. At
glass is subjected to special processing, which provides heat resistance, preventing the spread of smoke, flame and toxic gases from the side of a fire to the other side of the glass.
Fireproof glass retains all its qualities at a temperature of 1000 ° C. It
Suitable for use in doors, windows, partitions of residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
Single-layer fire-prevention glass has the same transparency as ordinary, almost the same weight, decorative properties and is increasingly used in
modern construction.
Laminated glass (it is also called - fire triplex) consists of
several sheets of glass glued with a special film. The space between them is filled with a multicomponent gel, and then the entire structure is sealed. Under the influence of a flame and an increase in temperature, the laminating layer foams and forms a thick fireproof layer, which prevents the spread of fire.
Glass with variable transparency (smart glass) -
it is an innovative material with a variable transparency function designed for instant creation
privacy and zoning space. Between
two layers of glass is placed liquid crystal
film. In the off mode, liquid crystals scatter light, the surface remains matte, completely opaque. When power is applied, crystals change
its position and smart glass becomes transparent.
Moreover, in both modes, the amount of transmitted light remains almost unchanged. Frosted glass surface
with adjustable transparency does not darken the space.
Using smart glass opens up great opportunities for the embodiment of the most amazing and daring design, architectural and advertising solutions. It can be

Fire will not pass
In the construction of modern facilities -
industrial and office buildings, schools
and kindergartens, hotels and exhibition centers - pay special attention
fire safety. Conventional float glass will crack if the temperature difference reaches 40 ° C. Therefore, for glazing for internal and external work
use laminated fire-resistant glass that maintains its integrity when exposed to fire.
Glass has long been associated with something fragile and easily breakable. However, the new requirements for windows, doors and glass partitions have seriously changed its properties. Modern fire glass is fundamentally different from ordinary. It

property in an emergency.
ZAO Fireglass has been working in the field of fire safety for more than ten years. For that
the company managed to become one of the leading manufacturers of fire-resistant glass and
fire fighting equipment, implementing large-scale projects in various cities of Russia.
High quality products are guaranteed by its professional manufacture.
Glass goes through a full cycle of processing on special imported equipment of the enterprise. The staff of the company is highly qualified builders, designers,
architects, designers who annually improve their skills in profiled
training centers. Each proposal is developed individually - according to the requirements
the customer. Own material and technical base, well-established work with trusted suppliers, a wide range of partners make it possible to minimize any
costs, and this, in turn, has a positive effect on the cost of production.
As you know, a good project starts with quality raw materials. CJSC Fireglass cooperates with the world's largest manufacturers of glass products, being
The official representative of one of the market leaders - the company PILKINGTON.
The Pilkington range has earned high praise from government fire surveillance services in Russia, the United States and Europe. Of greatest interest is the company's products under
Pyroclear® Pyrostop and Pyrodur.
The Pyrostop and Pyrodur series consist of float glass, with a flame retardant polymer and a multilayer structure. Due to its high light transmittance, the series has found wide application in various industries - it has been successfully used in the arrangement of cinemas,
office buildings in Russia, Poland, Czech Republic and other European countries.
Structurally, such glass consists of several layers glued with a resin-like
mineral salt polymer. At temperatures from 95 ° C the gel foams, hardens -
a heat-tight shell is formed, which effectively protects the heat flow and combustion products from fire.
Pyrostop glass benefits:
• Compliance to the European standards of ISO, EN 12600 and the American standard
ASTM E 119.
• High soundproof characteristics.
• Full transparency, which guarantees comfort to all workers and residents of the building
(in case of fire, the glass darkens, effectively restraining the heat of an open flame).
• Use as a part of double-glazed windows is possible.
Glass of another popular series - Pyrodur - is used as protection against fire and
hot gas in doors, partitions. In case of fire, it maintains isolation and integrity.
for 30-60 minutes. This is a critical period for the evacuation of people.
Pyrodur glass is famous for its excellent soundproofing characteristics; it is used in the preparation of steel and wooden glazing structures. It is characterized by the same advantages that colorless float glass has. At the same time fire resistance
corresponds to the EIW class and under the influence of an open flame remains for
30-60 minutes. The developers managed to minimize the secondary heat radiation from the heated glass.
When ordering Pyrodur and combining it with armored, sun-protection, energy-saving, noise-insulating glasses, the design organization solves important tasks, such as:
- High level of thermal insulation.
- Protection from sun rays.
- Improving soundproof performance.
- Durability.
- Original decor.
