Fire resistance glasses segment accounted for around 12% share in 2020. Fire resistance glasses are commonly used in the building's openings. The rapid growth of the segment is attributed to its superior characteristics. The most compelling properties of these glasses are durability, low maintenance, efficient temperature radiation, and safety quality. Along with offering integrity, many fire-resistant glasses also prevent the transmission of heat to the non-fire fireside. Such characteristics render the fire resistance glasses a preferred choice for consumers as a fire protection measure.

Fire dampers, smoke dampers, and even a combination of these systems are critical for passive fire protection. Fire dampers play a critical role in preventing the spread of flames across a fire-rated barrier. Their application is recommended while penetrating a fire-rated barrier to install ductwork. The damper is installed in the ductwork where it intersects the barrier. Fire dampers are highly preferred in such places as they consist of a heat-sensitive device that melts down when exposed to elevated temperature and leading to the closure of damper components.
