A fire resistant vacuum insulating glazing assembly with at least one vacuum insulating glazing unit having first and second glass panes; a set of discrete pillars between the glass panes; a hermetically bonding seal sealing the distance between the glass panes; an internal volume defined by the glass panes and closed by the hermetically bonding seal, wherein there is a vacuum of absolute pressure of less than 0.1 mbar. The inner pane faces face the internal volume, and the glazing assembly further includes at least one intumescent unit having a layer of intumescent material, an intumescent unit glass pane, and an intumescent unit peripheral spacer. The intumescent unit glass pane and the intumescent unit peripheral spacer define an intumescent unit volume, and the layer of intumescent material and the intumescent unit peripheral spacer face one of the outer pane faces of the first or second glass panes.

Fire resistant vacuum insulating glazing

The present invention relates to a fire resistant vacuum insulating glazing assembly including at least one vacuum insulating glazing unit, and at least one intumescent glazing unit. Also provided is the use of a vacuum insulating glazing unit in a fire resistant vacuum insulating glazing assembly to improve fire resistance.

A fireproof/bullet-proof safety glazing that includes a laminated assembly I of glass sheets, the laminate I, the glass sheets of which are assembled by means of thermoplastic interlayer sheets and n layers of intumescent material made from hydrated alkali silicate, with 1&#x2264;n&#x2264;3. The laminate I also includes a fireproof module comprising the n layers of intumescent material made of hydrated alkali silicate and n+1 glass sheets, the module being flanked on either side by at least one interlayer thermoplastic sheet and at least one glass sheet. The laminate I does not include organic glass sheets made from a polymer material that is rigid at ambient temperature. The glazing includes at least six glass sheets.
