The Value of Time

The Value of Time: Why Glaziers Trust Tecfire

Tecfire delivers fire-rated glazing systems designed to optimize installation time, reduce project costs, and simplify your on-site build. Feedback from glaziers consistently confirms these advantages.

What Glaziers Are Saying

After every project, Tecfire surveys installers to learn what worked best and where they can improve. One pattern has come up again and again: ease of install. Glaziers consistently report significant labor savings, with Tecfire systems taking about one-third of the time compared to competing systems. While we conservatively communicate labor savings of 20–30%, many glaziers report savings closer to 50–67%.

Why Installation Is Faster

Tecfire systems are designed with installers in mind:

• Pre-engineered simplicity: Frames and doors arrive factory-optimized and pre-prepped.

• Streamlined components: Fewer, lighter parts make handling easier and safer. 

• Independent glazing: Each glass lite can be set without sequential installation.

• No field modifications: Cutting and drilling aren’t required.

• Clear documentation: Shop drawings and guides reduce confusion and rework.

Together, these features eliminate extra steps, cut down on errors, and speed up every project. This puts more money back in your pocket. 

Proof in the Field

In a recent project, a glazier selected Tecfire based on shorter lead times (12-14 weeks after shops). Even though the pricing was competitive, it was the installation process that made the difference. The glazier had budgeted labor hours based on past experience with other systems—but after the project, actual installation time was dramatically lower. This resulted in 17% total project savings.

A Global Advantage

In Europe and the Middle East, Tecfire employees often perform installations directly, giving them hands-on insights to constantly refine and improve the systems. By the time these products arrive in North America, they’re truly installation-ready—ensuring glaziers benefit from the global expertise and streamlined design. 

The Bottom Line

Every glazier surveyed in North America has confirmed labor savings with Tecfire systems. With multiple projects completed and consistent results, the value proposition is clear:

✅ Save time
✅ Cut labor costs
