| Fire-Rated Frames That Resist the Bullet and Hammer
SAFTI announces two new protective features of its fire-resistant
GPX frames: bullet resistance and attack resistance.
In recent tests conducted by Intertek Testing Services, Antioch,
CA, SAFTI’s GPX security frames met UL 752 (1995), Level
3, requirements for bullet resistance and ASTM F 1592-01 Impact
Test requirements, Grade 1, for sledgehammer attack resistance.
GPX fire-rated framing systems are listed by ITS and UL for
60, 90 and 120-minute applications. They meet all the temperature
rise requirements of the national building codes, providing
the maximum barrier against fire and radiant heat transfer.
And now they come with the additional security of bullet and
attack resistance.
GPX aluminum fire-rated security frames are available in virtually
any custom architectural make-up – any species of decorative
wood; ornamental copper and brass clad; stainless steel; anodized,
powder coated or Kynar; or any other custom finish.
By incorporating fire and security rated glazing material
in a GPX framing system, you can create an aesthetically pleasing
barrier against fire, ballistic and impact forces.
