The GPX FireFloor System

was tested with a load of 100 psf to meet most loading requirements and is

available with load spans up to 50 feet. Additional engineering can be done

for longer spans. The GPX FireFloor System can be used in both interior and

exterior applications with multiple glass make-ups and frame ﬁnishes.

The single glass unit comprises custom SuperLite II-XL combined with a tem-

pered laminated non-slip walking surface and a ﬁre-resistive rated structural

steel framing grid. The framing grid is shipped pre-fabricated and in sections

for easy ﬁeld installation. The design allows the installer to set the structural

frame and load each glass panel from the top.

TGI on the Big Screen

Technoform Glass Insula-

tion (TGI) has developed a

customized, warm-edge TGI-

Spacer system for ScreenLine

integrated blind systems by

Intigral. The ScreenLine blind

moves within a completely

sealed environment without

affecting the hermetic prop-

erties of the insulating glass

unit.

TGI’s portfolio of hybrid

spacer systems incorporate

a high-performance polymer

and low-conductivity stain-

less steel to maximize protec-

tion against gas leakage and

moisture penetration, and minimize heat transfer at the edge of glass. According to the company, thermal calculations

show that by using TGI-Spacer in the ScreenLine system, U-Factor values are improved by 12 percent and interior sur-

face temperatures increase by 14 degrees Fahrenheit over standard aluminum spacers.

Also new from TGI is the TGI-Spacer M with Wire, made to improve the overall thermal and structural performance,

reduce the risk of condensation, and enhance the appearance of window systems for commercial, industrial and

residential building applications. The optimized proﬁle geometry and increased rigidity provides durability and easier

handling during fabrication, according to the company.
