Channel Glass:
GGF Launches
New Publications
The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF)
Technical Team is continuing to update and
add to the Federation’s “best in industry”
publications. Following last month’s launch of
the Technical Datasheet series on Window
Film, the GGF is pleased to introduce
the Series 4.6 Channel Glass, which
includes five new Technical Datasheets.
» DAVID BORLAND, GGF SENIOR
Technical Officer commented, “This product
has seen a real resurgence in recent times and
we felt that GGF guidance on the product
and its applications was long overdue. They
are a welcome addition to the GGF’s technical
library.”
The new Series consists of five
comprehensive Datasheets with details on; the
types of channel glass available such as wired;
unwired and toughened, single and double
glazed as well as methods of installation, both
vertical and horizontal and all aligned with the
relevant British and European Standards.
Whilst the lockdown continues to affect
travel for Technical Meetings and Site Visits,
the Technical Team continue to use the
opportunity to bring the GGF’s library of
technical information completely up-to-date,
whilst also creating new publications that
GGF Members have requested. A new Series
6 for Windows & Doorsets and Hardware is
currently in its first draft and will be issued
shortly for review and comments to the GGF
Members of the relevant technical groups.
