We Don’t Calculate: We Test
Share
At Pure Vista, we prioritise making the best and safest product for our customers, even if that means higher investment in research, development and testing.
Where some competitors in the market use calculations to decide whether the internal components meet fire regulations, we don’t. We have tested the whole system.
Our testing had gone above and beyond the necessary requirements to improve safety for homeowners. Before our products undergo official testing, we subject them to rigorous in-house testing to ensure that every element of the system exceeds official testing and strict government regulations.
In response to the tragic Grenfell Tower fire, regulations have changed. Residential buildings now over 11 metres must comply with fire safety regulations. All materials used on the external wall system, including balustrades, must be non-combustible and classified as A1 or, D0 EN13501-01 under the European classification system.
Emphasising the need to prioritise products with the highest fire safety standards is crucial as further reforms are underway for the construction industry.
Partnering with Pyroguard, we tested the channel alongside all the internal components with Pyroguard 23mm glass for a complete system test. POSIglaze and POSIone have successfully passed the fire testing installations on projects over 11 metre high and achieved A2, S1, D0, EN13501-1 status, reaching the line load of 0.74Kn.
About our Fire Rated Systems
POSIglaze FR
POSIglaze is the first fully adjustable balustrade system to enter the balustrade market. The system benefits from patented screw clamp technology, allowing easy adjustment to the glass. Our most popular and original frameless glass balustrade system is now available as a fully fire-rated system.
POSIone FR
POSIone is a fully adjustable system with one side fit. The system benefits from patented slider technology. Installed and adjusted on the safe side of the glass, meaning any glass replacements can be easily carried out. Enabling safer installation on projects with glass balustrade, including those over 11 metres high.
ACCREDITED TO 0.74kN TO BS 6180:2011
Both POSIglaze and POSIone are accredited and approved by multiple organisations to verify that they meet national and international building regulations for use as edge protection, where up to 0.74kN force loading is required.
