Processing & Labeling

PYRAN^® Star is available in stock sheets or cut to size. Customers processing these products need to be UL certified with SCHOTT’s endorsement. After cutting, each lite of PYRAN^® Star fire-rated glass-ceramic shall be permanently labeled according to code requirements with product and manufacturer‘s name, UL Mark, fire rating, etc.

Storage & Handling

PYRAN^® Star fire-rated glass-ceramic should be handled with care during transportation, storage, inspection, and installation. It should be stored in dry conditions only and needs to be stacked upright or at a slight angle with support along the entire length of the bottom edge. In addition, the panels must be separated by an appropriate material, such as acid-free tissue paper or cork pads only in the outer perimeter.

Installation

PYRAN^® Star shall only be installed into fire-rated frame and window assemblies carrying the same rating. Each PYRAN^® Star panel should be inspected carefully before installation, and any pieces with visible edge or surface damage should be sorted out. All glazing components and the stop height must be chosen according to the PYRAN^® Star UL classification. The panel must be placed on calcium silicate setting blocks and glazed using PYRAN^® Star classified glazing tape, such as closed cell PVC, Fiberfrax tape or Pemko FG3000S90. The installation of the framed unit must comply with the frame supplier‘s instructions.
PYRAN® Star is a specially developed glass-ceramic that fulfills fire-protection rated glazing requirements. The production process may create certain optical imperfections, such as bubbles or knots. Since these do not generally impair the transparency or the technical performance of the glass-ceramic, they do not represent cause for rejection or replacement. For further details please ask for the delivery specification.

Maintenance & Care

To maintain the aesthetics, it is important to keep the panel clean. A soft, clean, non-abrasive cloth and a mild soap, detergent, or non-abrasive window cleaning solution is suitable for cleaning. After cleaning, rinse immediately with clean water and remove any excess water from the panel surface. Also, do not allow any metal or sharp components of the cleaning equipment to come in contact with the panel surface
