For any kind of building, there’s no such thing as a small fire.
Even a small blaze that’s extinguished quickly can cause several hundred to several thousands of dollars in damage in short order. This is especially true for commercial buildings, where the total cost of damages in the United State alone is well into the billions.
Staying ahead of a potential fire and the damage it may cause goes far beyond a having a few strategically placed smoke detectors. It requires an always-on, multifaceted approach.
For any commercial building owner, integrating fire-rated glass throughout the structure can make a big different in how a worst-case scenario plays out and the cost of damage & recovery.
