3. Usage Recommendations

Steel Insulated Fire-Rated Windows require specific handling and environment considerations:

1. Avoid Direct Impact: Steel frames and glass are durable but can be damaged by strong impact.

2. Regular Monitoring: Check seals and glazing for wear or damage to maintain fire and thermal performance.

3. Temperature Extremes: Ensure installation does not expose the window to direct, prolonged high temperatures outside its rated limits.

4. Integration with Safety Systems: If used with smoke detectors or automatic vents, ensure connectivity and testing are regularly performed.

Following these recommendations enhances both safety performance and product lifespan.

4. Maintenance Frequency

To maintain fire rating and operational integrity, regular maintenance is essential:

Regular maintenance ensures consistent fire and smoke protection, operational reliability, and energy efficiency.

5. Maintenance Methods

Proper care prolongs the window’s service life and maintains its fire-resistant performance.

5.1 Cleaning Methods

• Use soft cloths or sponges with mild detergents.

• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to protect steel coatings and glass surfaces.

• For glass panels, non-ammonia-based cleaners are recommended to avoid damage to seals.

5.2 Rust Prevention

• Inspect steel frames for scratches or corrosion.

• Apply rust-preventive coatings or repaint damaged areas.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and water accumulation.

5.3 Seal and Gasket Care

• Ensure rubber or silicone seals are free from dirt and debris.

• Replace worn seals promptly to maintain thermal insulation and fire integrity.

5.4 Hardware Maintenance

• Lubricate hinges, locks, and any mechanical opening devices periodically.

• Test automatic fire vent or shutter mechanisms to ensure proper operation.

By adhering to these methods, the Steel Insulated Fire-Rated Window will continue to provide safety, efficiency, and durability over time.
