A fire resistant vacuum insulating glazing assembly includes at least one vacuum insulating glazing unit that has a first glass pane, GP1, which includes an inner pane face and an outer pane face and a second glass pane, GP2, which includes an inner pane face and an outer pane face. A set of discrete pillars is positioned between the first and second glass panes and maintains a distance between the first and the second glass panes. A hermetically bonding seal seals the distance between the first and second glass panes over a perimeter. An internal volume, V, is defined by the first and second glass panes and is closed by the hermetically bonding seal. There is a vacuum of absolute pressure of less than 0.1 mbar and the inner pane faces face the internal volume, V.

A fire resistant vacuum insulating glazing assembly with at least one vacuum insulating glazing unit having first and second glass panes; a set of discrete pillars between the glass panes; a hermetically bonding seal sealing the distance between the glass panes; an internal volume defined by the glass panes and closed by the hermetically bonding seal, wherein there is a vacuum of absolute pressure of less than 0.1 mbar. The inner pane faces face the internal volume, and the glazing assembly further includes at least one intumescent unit having a layer of intumescent material, an intumescent unit glass pane, and an intumescent unit peripheral spacer. The intumescent unit glass pane and the intumescent unit peripheral spacer define an intumescent unit volume, and the layer of intumescent material and the intumescent unit peripheral spacer face one of the outer pane faces of the first or second glass panes.

Fire resistant glazings comprise a fire resistant interlayer based upon a silicate waterglass are characterized by the incorporation of aluminum ions. The aluminate is incorporated as a solution which has been partially neutralized using hydroxycarboxylic acid which is preferably citric acid. The incorporation of aluminum provides glazings have improved fire resistance and impact properties.

A fire-resistant glazing unit includes a first untempered glass sheet, a second untempered glass sheet and a solid interlayer stack, wherein the interlayer stack includes a first intumescent layer, an essentially inorganic layer and a second intumescent layer.

A transparent, shatterproof, bullet-resistant glazing with fire protection properties, consisting of a ballistic block constructed from at least two transparent panes adherently bonded to one another by at least one transparent, adhesion-promoting layer, wherein each pane has a thickness of at least 3 mm, a fire protection unit constructed from at least two transparent panes adherently bonded by a transparent, intumescent layer, and at least one spacer between the fire protection unit and the ballistic block, the surfaces of the unit and the block being arranged parallel or substantially parallel to one another such that a hollow space is situated therebetween.

A fireproof/bullet-proof safety glazing that includes a laminated assembly I of glass sheets, the laminate I, the glass sheets of which are assembled by means of thermoplastic interlayer sheets and n layers of intumescent material made from hydrated alkali silicate, with 1≤n≤3. The laminate I also includes a fireproof module comprising the n layers of intumescent material made of hydrated alkali silicate and n+1 glass sheets, the module being flanked on either side by at least one interlayer thermoplastic sheet and at least one glass sheet. The laminate I does not include organic glass sheets made from a polymer material that is rigid at ambient temperature. The glazing includes at least six glass sheets.

Fire protection glazing made of two or more glass panes spaced apart from each other by a spacer. A fire protection material and the spacer are arranged in an intermediate space between the two glass panes. A secondary seal encloses the fire protection material and the spacer in the intermediate space. The secondary seal has a cooling fire protection property and is free of any intumescent fire protection property. Exclusively the fire protection material, the spacer, optionally having an optional spacer attachment for attaching the spacer to the glass pane, and the secondary seal can be arranged in the intermediate space between the two glass panes.
