Joel Berman Glass Studios of Vancouver has announced new partnerships with Kwik-Wall and Technical Glass Products (TGP).

Through the agreement with Kwik-Wall the four Berman editions designer glass textures are available as a standardized tempered glass option with Clear-Division moveable wall systems. The Clear-Divisions are operable walls made of glass that can be used in applications such as storefronts, banking centers, hotels, airports, country clubs and corporate meeting facilities.

In addition, Joel Berman Glass Studios is collaborating with Pilkington Fire Protection Glass North America and TGP. The companies are working together to create new choices in decorative, fire-rated glass that also has impact-safety ratings as required.

Through the agreement, Berman textured glass products can be combined with either Pilkington Pyrostop™ or the FireLite® family of products, available through TGP, to achieve fire ratings from 20 minutes to three hours.

"We're very pleased to offer this solution to our clients," said Joel Berman, president of Berman Glass editions. "Architects can now explore a new realm of design opportunities while still meeting code requirements."
