Pensher Skytech’s Fire resistant products include:

Fire protection is a fundamental concern within any building, including fire resistance in its doors, windows/glazing and walling.
The classifications for fire resistance are linked to the time that a unit can resist the fire maintaining either integrity or insulation, or both. It is important to recognise the term “fire resistant” instead of “fire proof” because the latter suggests a product that will resist fire indefinitely, however “fire resistant” is the correct term to define a product which will resist fire for a certain period of time.
For example, when fire resistant door testing takes place, it is to resist a constant heat in excess of a certain time, often 30, 60 or 120 minutes. Doors with windows can also be tested, and again it needs to be clear that “fire proof glass” is not the correct terminology, instead “fire resistant glass” reflects the true nature of the product and its materials.
Pensher Skytech’s Augmented Commercial Systems can provide fire resistance for up to two hours integrity and insulation. For higher security and bespoke units we conduct fire door testing to meet our client’s specifications.
