The recent advisory note* issued in late 2019 places responsibility
on building owners to check existing spandrel panels for reaction
to fire many of which have been specified on thermal performance
rather than fire performance . Chromatics Glass Ltd. have recently
completed a project on a social housing high rise project using a
combination of 6mm thick glass with non- combustible insulation
to meet the current industry demands for improved safety levels.
A particular feature of this product across all applications is safety
. Chromatics safety glass is a shatterproof product which if broken
retains its integrity due to its foil backing. This is of immense value
when used in internal applications and high traffic areas as this
avoids the need to close areas down until replacements can be
arranged. Interior product is also available in any RAL and digital
print offering wide scope for interior designers.
Finally , and again with safety in mind , Chromatics Glass Ltd. also
offer safety mirrors available exclusively in the UK from Pilkington
. This shatterproof product is particularly suitable for educational
buildings , student accommodation , gymnasiums and sports
centres, care homes and public buildings .
Product is available and held in stock in selected colours through
Independent Glass branches within the UK.
