As modern buildings push the boundaries of design and transparency, the demand for fire-rated glass that combines safety, performance, and visual appeal has never been higher. Hengbao rises to this challenge with an advanced line of single-layer fire-rated glass solutions. Designed to deliver uncompromising fire protection while maintaining architectural clarity, Hengbao’s products, including their industry-leading borosilicate fireproof glass, are ideal for projects that demand both safety and sophisticated aesthetics.
Single-layer fire-rated glass is usually made from borosilicate glass and high-stress glass. It is a major part of Hengbao's product line and offers outstanding weather resistance, making it suitable for various natural environments. Even under long-term exposure to sunlight, its appearance remain unchanged.
Fire-rated borosilicate glass is a high-performance material known for its superior thermal and mechanical properties. With a low coefficient of thermal expansion, this glass resists breakage under rapid temperature changes, making it an ideal choice for environments exposed to intense heat. Borosilicate fireproof glass maintains its structural integrity and transparency in fire conditions, providing trusted integrity-only (E) protection for up to 180 minutes (E30–E120).
Hengbao offers this single-layer borosilicate solution in various sizes and thicknesses to meet diverse architectural requirements while delivering reliable fire performance.
Hengbao's single-layer fire-rated glazing systems offer several key performance and design benefits:
Fire-rated borosilicate glass can endure rapid temperature fluctuations of several hundred degrees Celsius without cracking, ensuring continued protection during sudden fire exposure.
Hengbao’s single-layer fireproof glass offers high light transmission and clear visibility, making it ideal for applications where safety must coexist with natural light and visual openness.
Every glass unit is tested and certified to major fire safety standards, including BS, EN, and GB, ensuring regulatory compliance for projects worldwide.
Compared to multi-layer systems, single-layer fire-rated glass offers a more minimal profile, reducing weight on supporting frames and allowing for sleek, contemporary installations.
Borosilicate fireproof glass is highly resistant to wear, scratching, and UV exposure, ensuring long-lasting clarity and performance even in direct sunlight.
Hengbao offers high-quality single-layer fire-rated glass in various thickness options, including 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm. Made from borosilicate fireproof glass, these panels provide excellent fire resistance along with superior heat insulation. As the thickness increases, the glass offers greater thermal protection and impact resistance, making the 10mm and 12mm variants ideal for high-demand applications such as fire-rated doors and partition walls.
Hengbao’s single-layer fire-rated glass is suitable for a variety of applications across commercial, residential, and public infrastructure projects:
Enable fire protection while maintaining clear sightlines in internal and external doors or glazed fire barriers.
Ideal for open-plan offices, hotel lobbies, and commercial corridors where fire separation is required without compromising openness and daylight.
The clarity and strength of borosilicate fireproof glass make it suitable for large glazed surfaces exposed to fire risk.
Protect essential egress routes while enhancing visibility and safety with certified fire-rated glazing.
Used in shopfronts and stylish interior partitions, this glass provides both fire protection and high-end design flexibility.
Reliable fire protection up to 180 minutes (E-rating), meeting global fire safety codes.
Enables naturally bright interiors and uninterrupted sightlines.
The thinner, lighter profile simplifies installation and opens new possibilities for frameless or slender-framed designs.
Compared to multi-layered systems, single-layer fire-rated glass can reduce costs related to weight and framing requirements.
Hengbao’s borosilicate fireproof glass offers long-term value with high resistance to scratching, discoloration, and environmental degradation.
By specifying Hengbao’s advanced single-layer fireproof glass and fire-rated borosilicate glass, architects and developers can confidently meet fire safety requirements while preserving design freedom. Whether your project needs transparency, thermal performance, or certified protection, Hengbao delivers fire-rated glass solutions that stand up to the heat and the highest standards of modern design.
Q1: What’s the difference between E and EI fire ratings?
E-rated glass (Integrity) like Hengbao’s single-layer fire-rated glass, blocks flames and smoke for a specified period, while EI-rated (Integrity & Insulation) glass mainly prevents heat transfer.
Q2: Can borosilicate fireproof glass be used in insulating units (IGUs)?
Absolutely. Hengbao’s fire-rated borosilicate glass can be integrated into IGUs – a sealed unit of two or more glass panes – to provide both fire safety and energy efficiency in facades and external glazing.
Q3: Is single-layer fireproof glass as strong as toughened glass?
Yes. Single-layer fireproof glass made from borosilicate materials often surpasses the strength and thermal resistance of conventional toughened glass, making it ideal for safety applications.
Q4: How long can Hengbao's single-layer glass resist fire?
Depending on thickness and installation, Hengbao’s single-layer fire-rated glass can offer fire resistance for 30, 60, 90, 120 or up to 180 minutes (E30–E120).
