Marine Fire Window
Introduction of Marine Fire Window
Marine fire rectangular windows are specialized windows designed to provide fire protection in marine vessels. They are used to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between different compartments or sections of a ship. Marine fire rectangular windows are designed and tested to meet stringent fire safety regulations and standards, such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) requirements.
Features of Marine Fire Window
Marine fire windows are designed with several features to ensure that they can provide fire protection and maintain their integrity in the event of a fire. Some common features of marine fire windows include:
Fire-rated glass: Marine fire windows are typically constructed using fire-rated glass that is able to withstand exposure to heat and fire for a specified period of time without breaking or cracking.
Fire-resistant frames: The frames of marine fire windows are constructed using fire-resistant materials such as steel or aluminum. The frames are designed to resist deformation and maintain their structural integrity in the event of a fire.
Intumescent seals: Marine fire windows are often fitted with intumescent seals that expand when exposed to heat, creating a barrier that prevents smoke and flames from passing through the window.
Thermal insulation: Marine fire windows may also feature thermal insulation to help protect against heat transfer and prevent the window from becoming too hot to touch.
Water-tightness: Marine fire windows may be required to be water-tight to prevent the ingress of water during normal operation or in the event of a fire-fighting operation.
Certification: Marine fire windows are typically certified by independent testing organizations such as CCS, DNV, Lloyds Register, or ABS to ensure that they meet all relevant safety standards and regulations.
These features are designed to provide protection and prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases through the windows, helping to protect the crew and the vessel in the event of a fire.

Comparison and Consequences
1.The window frame adopts high carbon content steel, easy to brake.
2.The thickness of the glass dose not meet the requirements of A60 fireproof.
3.Installation accessories made of low quality carbon steel, easy to rust.
4.The glass thickness is thinner and the fire resistance test time is shorter
1. High-quality carbon steel window frame, the structure is firm and not easy to damage
2. Surface coating color is optional
3. The glass is double-layer thickened glass, which contains refractory liquid. Not only has fire resistance, but also has outstanding strength and high hardness. After the glass is broken, the glass is in an obtuse angle, and will not touch people.
4. cause some damages. It can keep transparent and bright for a long time under the long-term exposure of ultraviolet rays.
5. Ceramic wool insulation is light in weight, corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity, good thermal insulation performance, and is an efficient insulating material.
