NEW GLASS LINE FROM ADVANTAGE LITES &
LOUVERS COMES WITH A SAFETY PLUS
Bronx, N.Y. – Advantage Lites & Louvers’ (ALL) new glass product
line provides options to meet the full range of code requirements for fire and
impact-safety ratings for door vision lites. With introduction of the new line,
ALL also provides a convenient way to prepare for the likelihood of stepped-up
enforcement of labeling requirements for fire-rated glass in door lites during
annual fire door inspections under NFPA 80 2007. Buying lite kits and glass
together from Advantage Lites & Louvers ensures proper labeling and compliance
with all fire and safety codes, minimizing costs and penalties for owners and
managers. It also allows distributors to avoid the pitfalls of stocking and
labeling their own glass.
ALL’s complete selection of
glass for door lites ranges
from top-fire-rated ceramic
safety glazing to mid-range
fire and safety wired and
clear glass solutions. All
models are also available in
convenient lite kits
designed to ensure correct
size and fit.
ALL’s premium ceramic
solutions for side lites,
transoms and larger interior
doors are SuperLite™ C/P
glazing and safety-rated
SuperLite™ C/SP. Both are
listed for higher fire-rated
applications up to 180
minutes. SuperLite C/SP
meets Category 2
requirements to withstand up
to 400 lbs of pressure,
which is highest federal
standard for impact safety.
Appropriate for almost all
indoor applications,
SuperLite I-W™ glazing is
fire-rated up to 90 minutes.
For 20-minute applications,
ALL offers SuperLite 20
clear wireless glazing. Both
models are safety-rated for
Category 2 impact
resistance.

Advantage Lites & Louvers

North Carolina. In addition
to its glass products and
vision lite kits, ALL
manufactures a full line
door louvers and
