Fire resistant windows are an important safety feature in any building, particularly those in high-risk areas. These windows are designed to withstand fire for a minimum of 30 minutes without compromising its structural integrity or releasing significant amounts of smoke and harmful gases. 

EI-30 fire resistant windows are made of materials that can resist high temperatures and prevent the spread of flames and smoke from one area to another. The idea and the main benefit of an EI-30 window is to provide extra time for people to evacuate a building in case of a fire. The minimum 30-minute protection time allows for the fire department to arrive and extinguish the fire before it spreads further, minimizing damage and losses.

The Integra EI-30 fire resistant windows are part of the Integra system and thus have the same design characteristics of a typical window. Looking the same makes the design of the house an aesthetic whole even while some of the windows may indeed be fire resistant. To withstand extreme heat and fire, the Integra EI-30 windows have more limitations than other parts of the system, but still provide ample opportunities for design and dynamical architecture with both fixed, openable as well as combination windows as possible solutions.
