2. Define Marine Fireproof Windows 

Marine fireproof window help prevent flames/smoke and heat from spreading to different compartments of the ship.

Such windows are made up of fire rated glass with insulated frames.

They can be installed within the bulkheads/walls of the ship.

Marine fireproof window are different from your conventional marine windows as they keep the integrity of fire between compartments at all times despite harsh circumstances.

Marine fireproof window are made to the standards required by international marine regulations.

3. Fire Rating

Marine fireproof windows have different fire ratings

A0: Prevents flames and smoke. There’s no insulation provided.

A30: It is insulated from fire and heat for 30 minutes.

A60: Provided with 60 minutes of fire protection and insulation from heat.

Fire ratings are based on the Standards of SOLAS and IMO FTP Code.

Hence all marine fireproof window that are certified by us at ZHENXING Ship are fit for global use.

4. Frame Material and Construction

The frame of marine fireproof window is made of heavy-duty steel or aluminum.

The window pane is fire-rated laminated glass or ceramic glass.

Additionally, there is insulation between the two panes to limit heat transfer.

The hinges/fasteners are made with extra strength to keep the window secured to the bulkhead.

Therefore marine fireproof window are designed for both strength and fire protection.

5. Glass Features and Fire Rating

Marine fireproof window are made with multi-layered fireproof glass.

Either laminated or ceramic glass which both provide fire resistance without losing transparency.

Ceramic glass has the ability to withstand much higher heat before breaking.

The outer layer is also tempered glass which increases the windows impact strength.

Thus providing you with marine windows that keep visibility and safety in mind.

6. Construction and Anti-Corrosion Features

Made with marine-grade steel or aluminum alloy frame construction.

They go through processes to limit corrosion such as sandblasting and epoxy coatings.

Hinges and fasteners are stainless steel which provide extra protection from rust.

Marine fireproof window will not corrode or degrade for many years.

7. Fire & Smoke Sealing Systems

Window perimeter is sealed with high temperature fireproof gaskets .

They prevent the smoke and flame from spreading to other compartments .

Compression seals provide intimate contact of glass with frame.

Therefore, marine fireproof window sustain fire integrity even under adverse conditions.

8. Characteristics of Marine Fireproof Windows 

Fire resistance ratings – Certified A0, A30, A60

Corrosion resistant marine grade frames

Laminated / Ceramic Fireproof Glass

Smokeproof sealing system

Easy to fix in bulkheads

Therefore, marine fireproof windows assure you safety components for ships/offshore platforms.

9. Marine Fireproof Windows Applications

Fireproof windows are used in following areas of ship

• Engine room and control rooms
• Bridge / Wheelhouse
• Cabins / Accommodation
• Fire rated corridors and stair towers
• Living quarters in Offshore platforms

So, marine fireproof windows offer you safety without compromising visibility.

10.Fireproof Windows Comply with International Standards

Marine fireproof windows comply with IMO(International Maritime Organization) regulation.

Fireproof window testing is done under ISO(International Organization for Standardization) certification.

This makes marine fireproof windows safe, reliable and recognized globally.

ZHENXING Ship has all certificates available for your choice marine window.
