PYRAN® Platinum

Fire-Rated Glass-Ceramic

Labeling

After cutting, each lite of PYRAN® Platinum fire-rated glass-ceramic shall be permanently labeled according to code requirements with product and manufacturer’s name, mark from the authorized testing agency, fire rating, etc.

Storage & Handling

PYRAN® Platinum fire-rated glass-ceramic should be handled with care during transportation, storage, inspection, and installation. It should be stored in dry conditions only and needs to be stacked upright or at a slight angle. In addition, the panels must be separated by an appropriate material, such as soft pads made of cork and the bottom edge must be supported along its entire length.

Installation

PYRAN® Platinum shall only be installed into fire-rated frame and window assemblies carrying the same rating. Each PYRAN® Platinum panel should be inspected carefully before installation, and any pieces with visible edge or surface damage should be sorted out. All glazing components and the stop height must be chosen according to the PYRAN® Platinum UL classification. The panel must be placed on calcium silicate or hardwood setting blocks and glazed using PYRAN® Platinum classified glazing tape, such as closed cell PVC, Fiberfrax tape or Pemko FG3000S90. The installation of the framed unit must comply with the frame supplier's instructions.

PYRAN® Platinum is a specially developed glass-ceramic, that fulfills the fire protection rating requirements. The production process may create certain optical imperfections, such as bubbles or knots. Since these do not generally impair the transparency or the technical performance of the glass-ceramic, they do not represent cause for rejection or replacement.

Maintenance and Care

To maintain the aesthetics, it is important to keep the panel clean. A soft, clean, non-abrasive cloth and a mild soap, detergent, or non-abrasive window cleaning solution is suitable for cleaning. After cleaning, rinse immediately with clean water and remove any excess water from the panel surface. Also, do not allow any metal or hard parts of the cleaning equipment to come in contact with the panel surface.
