The perfect combination of fire retardancy and top insulation
Traditional fire-resistant glass often sacrifices insulation value. With fire-resistant vacuum glass, this is a thing of the past. Thanks to vacuum technology, the U-value remains extremely low - as low as U=0.35. This unique combination is ideal for projects where both safety and energy efficiency are important. Think factory halls, healthcare facilities or office buildings.
Many facades of offices and commercial buildings are already fire-resistant, but require preservation because the current glazing does not sufficiently insulate (HR++: 1.10 - HR+++: 0.70). With BENG glass, you improve insulation without compromising on safety.
A revolutionary product for facade (renovation)
For facade applications, BENGglas offers a revolutionary glass product with EW30 or EW60 rating. This ultra-thin 15 mm glass package combines a U-value of 0.35 W/m²K with two-sided injury safety and fall-through safety according to NEN 2608.
Ideal for both new construction and renovation. Many facades of offices and commercial buildings are already fire-resistant, but require preservation because the current glazing does not sufficiently insulate. With BENG glass, you improve insulation without making concessions to safety.
The application of fire-resistant glazing is regulated by law
In the Building Works Decree for the Living Environment (Bbl), there is a requirement for Resistance to Fire Breakthrough and Fire Overflow (WBDBO) between two fire compartments.
- Fire penetration
This is where a fire spreads from one room to another via internal walls or ceilings - so not via the outside air. The fire resistance of these separation structures is determined according to NEN 6069 (reference from NEN 6068). - Fire spread
In this case the fire spreads via the outside air to another room. This is assessed in accordance with NEN 6068, which specifies the resistance to fire penetration and spread between spaces.
BENG glass and Pyroguard
BENG glass can be used with fire-resistant glazing from Pyroguard, a leading manufacturer in fire-resistant glass.
This hybrid construction allows EW and EI ratings of 30 or 60 minutes, always supported by a valid test report.
Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of vacuum glass?
Vacuum glass is no ordinary insulating glass - it is a smart and future-proof solution for sustainable construction. Compared to standard insulation glass, BENG glass offers benefits that directly improve your home as well as help the climate.
- Superior insulation
With a U-value starting at 0.35 W/m²K, BENG glass is two times better than triple glazing (0.70) and three times better than HR++ glass (1.10). This ensures less heat loss, lower heating costs and a comfortable home. - No loss of insulation in slope
Many insulation glasses lose up to 60% of their performance when installed at an angle. BENG glass continues to perform. - Up to twice the lifespan
Whereas traditional glass lasts an average of 25 years, BENG glass lasts up to 50 years. Producing it once means less CO₂ and half a century of benefit. - Strong noise reduction
From 36 dB to 42 dB, well above HR++ (31 dB) and triple glazing (33 dB). As a result, you live more quietly and peacefully. Ideal for homes or properties on busy roads. - More comfort all year round
Cool in summer, warm in winter - without draughts or cold spots. - No condensation on the inside
The unique edge seal completely prevents interior condensation. - Fits into existing window frames
With only 8.3 mm thickness, BENG glass almost always fits into existing window frames. This makes renovations easier and avoids unnecessary use of materials. - A true climate hero
If the entire Netherlands switches to BENG glass, we save up to 4.1 megatons of CO₂ annually - comparable to 170,000 car trips from Amsterdam to Paris.
The production of BENG glass itself will also save 24,000 tons of CO₂ per year, thanks to production using green energy, 30% less material usage than with triple glazing, up to twice the lifespan and high insulation. - A smart investment in the future
A U-value that insulates up to 2x better and that for as much as 50 years. Combine that with an improved energy label and a higher home value and you have your costs back immediately!
