Can I still use wire glass in door lites?
Swinging Doors are considered “Hazardous Locations” according to SECTION 2406.3 of the International Building Code, and require CAT II-rated glazing. Locations other than doors may not be required to have CAT II rating. Please consult your local (AHJ) Authority Having Jurisdiction to determine appropriate standards. Air Louvers offers Wire-Shield glass which is fabricated with a safety film on one side, providing Category II protection, plus many other non-wired glazing selections which are both fire-rated and CAT II-rated for use in hazardous locations. Use the Glass Selection Table to view product information. When do I need an IG kit? An IG kit is required for glazing that is greater than ” thick, or for non-standard thickness doors. There are 3 Air Louvers IG Kits; VSL-IG is for glazing 5/16″ – 1″ thick in a 1-” door. VLF-EZ-IG is for glazing 5/16″ – 1″ thick in 1-3/8″ to 2-1/2″ thick doors.
