SAN FRANCISCO (May 3, 2011) – SAFTI FIRST, leading manufacturer of fire rated glass and framing solutions, is proud to debut the mySAFTI app, the first interactive design tool that takes the guesswork out of choosing the correct fire rated glass product, at the AIA National Convention in New Orleans.  Architects, specifiers and glazing professionals can quickly use their iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to make their selection based on fire rating or application.  In addition, the mySAFTI app also allows users to view product data, size charts, save favorites and request information via email.  For additional design inspiration, users can browse the project gallery to view photos of SAFTI FIRST projects across the country. The mySAFTI app can be downloaded for free from the App Store or through iTunes.

“We understand that architects, specifiers and glazing contractors are busy professionals who are always on the go, and have come to rely on their mobile devices for numerous things,” says William O’Keeffe, President and CEO of SAFTI FIRST.  “We are happy to provide this free app that enables them to easily select the correct fire rated glass product anytime and anywhere.

In addition, SAFTI FIRST will also be displaying its full line of UL and WHI listed and labeled fire rated glass and frame products, which are proudly made in the USA.
