Fire-rated glass smoke baffles are fixed smoke-control barriers installed at ceiling level to compartmentalise smoke during a fire. Constructed from fire-rated glass panels and supporting hardware, they restrict smoke spread from the ceiling reservoir into escape routes and maintain visibility to aid evacuation and firefighting.
The transparent barrier preserves natural light and visual wayfinding compared with opaque alternatives, while the glass and framing are engineered for structural stability and wind-load resistance after installation. Perimeter sealing is intended to reduce smoke bypass at the edges, and the assemblies integrate into commercial, transit, and atrium spaces where both smoke control and architectural openness are required.
