the challenge ?”

the glazing components

sector on the panel

along with other panellists

including , Gareth Jones ,

Managing Director of

Solar Fabrications and

Mark Gajda , REHAU , Head

of Technical Services and

GGF Systems House Group .

Ahead of the debate ,

Dean Bradley commented ,

“ Triple glazing has its

advantages and disadvantages

, but for installers

the questions are multiple .

Firstly , there ’ s understanding

the compliance with regulations

should it become a

compulsory measure at some

point in the future . Secondly ,

is the companies ’ capability

and what they have to do

to compete . There ’ s a lot to debate and many factors to consider , but the one thing that is certain is that triple glazing is not going away and if anything , it is likely to increase over the next decade .”

Triple glazing does have its environmental and economic benefits for homeowners but there are issues in the supply chain and in particular at the installation end .

Dean Bradley adds , “ Glazpart as always keeps abreast of the incoming legislation to ensure our customers are aware of what is coming down the pipeline . As well as imparting knowledge , we have also prepared products with our range of glazing accessories for fabricators

and installers who make and fit triple glazing . We are ready for the inevitable increase in triple glazing , though I ’ m not so sure our industry as a whole is prepared for what lies ahead . I look forward to the debate and sharing my views and knowledge on triple glazing , which is more than just an extra pane of glass in window .”
