Pyroplex 30049 Glazing Seal – 14.2 × 6.4mm is a flexible, self-adhesive intumescent glazing profile designed for use within approved 30-minute fire-resistant glazed apertures.
The profile incorporates an integral flexible fin that contacts the glass and helps provide additional stability within the glazing pocket. It is suitable for compatible insulating and non-insulating fire-resistant glass between 7mm and 15mm thick.
The supplied range is available in:
Pyroplex 30049 forms part of an approved fire-glazing system for vision panels and other glazed apertures in suitable fire-resisting doors and timber screens.
During normal conditions, the flexible profile provides a continuous seal between the glazing bead and glass. When exposed to elevated temperatures, the intumescent material expands within the glazing pocket to help restrict the passage of flames and hot gases.
The product has been developed for 30-minute applications, but its performance depends on the complete tested or assessed glazing system rather than the seal alone.
The flexible fin projects from the main body of the seal and makes contact with the glass when the glazing beads are installed.
The fin helps:
The fin must remain correctly orientated during installation. It should not be folded underneath the bead, cut away or permanently crushed.
The seal incorporates high-performance self-adhesive backing for attachment to the glazing bead.
This holds the profile in position while:
The adhesive is an installation aid. It does not replace the mechanical screws, pins, glazing beads or setting blocks required by the approved glazing system.
The flexible profile is supplied in continuous rolls, allowing installers to cut only the lengths required for each glazing bead.
This helps:
The tape should not be stretched while measuring or fitting, as it may retract and leave gaps at the corners.
Pyroplex lists product 30049 for use with compatible:
Compatibility must be verified for the exact glass product, door or screen construction and glazing arrangement.
A glass product should not be substituted solely because it has the same nominal thickness or fire-resistance period.
Where the seal is used within a fire-resisting door, the complete doorset evidence must permit:
Cutting a glazed aperture into a certified fire door without suitable evidence may invalidate its certification and fire performance.
Pyroplex 30049 may also be used within approved 30-minute timber glazed screens.
The manufacturer describes the screen system as suitable for:
The screen installation must follow the specific screen-system evidence rather than automatically copying the fire-door installation detail.
The Pyroplex FG30 range has been tested to standards including:
Pyroplex currently lists the product under Certifire TS25 Certificate CF348.
Before relying on certification for a current project, confirm the latest certificate revision, permitted glass types, maximum aperture dimensions and complete installation scope.
The glazing system can be used with insulating and non-insulating glass. The resulting integrity and insulation performance depends primarily on the selected glass and complete tested assembly.
The seal itself must not be described as independently providing a universal insulation rating.
Pyroplex describes its intumescent glazing material as:
The product should nevertheless be stored in clean, dry conditions to protect its adhesive backing and prevent contamination before installation.
The stocked roll lengths are:
Pyroplex’s standard published product range identifies a 100m coil. The 10m format is included within this supplier’s stocked range.
The stocked colours are:
The manufacturer also references additional colours within its wider range, but only Black, Brown and White should be offered as selectable options for this product.
Calculate the required tape length from the complete perimeter of every glazed aperture.
Allow for:
For a rectangular aperture, calculate the perimeter and multiply it by the number of glazed faces requiring the seal.
Before ordering, confirm:
Do not select a glazing seal solely by its physical dimensions. Fire performance depends on matching the complete tested or assessed glazing system.

The 30-minute performance depends on the complete glazing construction, including:
Pyroplex’s current product instructions specify:
The latest door certificate or assessment takes precedence where it specifies a different approved construction.
For approved timber glazed screens, Pyroplex publishes fixing options including:
Do not transfer screen fixing details to a fire door unless the door evidence permits them.
Store the glazing seal:
Before use, reject material that is:
Pyroplex 30049 must be installed as part of an approved fire-resistant glazing system.
The exact glass, beads, aperture liner, fixings, seal position and dimensions must match the relevant test evidence, certificate or doorset assessment.
Confirm:
Do not modify a certified fire door unless the proposed glazing arrangement is supported by current evidence.
Check that the aperture is:
Stop work where the door or screen construction does not match the approved system.
Pyroplex’s current fire-door instructions require a 6mm hardwood liner around the aperture.
Cut and install the liner so that it:
Where current project-specific evidence permits another arrangement, follow that evidence exactly.
Prepare the glazing beads to the dimensions and material specified by the approved system.
Before applying the seal, make sure each bead surface is:
Unwind the Pyroplex 30049 profile without stretching it.
Remove the release liner progressively and press the adhesive backing firmly onto the glazing bead.
Position the profile so that:
Cut the seal using sharp scissors or a suitable knife.
Do not:
Mitre-cut the glazing beads with the seal already attached, following Pyroplex’s published installation method.
Check that:
Fit one complete side of the glazing-bead system into the aperture.
For the published fire-door arrangement, secure the beads using:
Use the exact fixing arrangement required by the current doorset evidence.
Pyroplex’s published fire-door instructions require the glass to be cut to fit the aperture with a tolerance of:
±2mm
Use appropriate glass-handling equipment and position the glass carefully.
Confirm that:
Prepare the opposing bead set using the same seal and mitre process.
Position the beads against the glass and secure them using the specified mechanical fixings.
As the beads are tightened, check that:
Inspect every side and corner.
Confirm that:
For an approved timber fire screen, Pyroplex publishes a separate fixing arrangement.
The seal is applied to the bead, after which the bead may be fixed using either:
Both are positioned at maximum 150mm centres under the published screen arrangement.
Position the glass and repeat the bead installation on the opposite face.
Do not use the screen fixing arrangement for a fire door unless the door evidence specifically permits it.
Inspect the complete glazed aperture as part of the fire-door or fire-screen maintenance programme.
Check for:
Pyroplex 30049 does not independently provide a 30-minute fire rating.
Performance depends on the complete approved system, including:
Install the product only in accordance with current test evidence, certification, assessment documentation and the instructions applicable to the complete glazed construction.
