Fire Rated Framing Systems

It is no secret that windows and glass walls can make for a more productive space as the natural light helps you feel connected with the outside world. With that thought in mind, SAFTI First developed wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling fire resistive framing system. The GPX Architectural Series can be used in both interior and exterior wall applications with a fire rating of up to 2 hours when combined with applicable SuperLite glass.
