RELAUNCHED SECURITY GLAZING PUBLICATIONS

The Glass and Glazing Federation( GGF) has relaunched two updated security glazing leaflets.
»»
THE REVISED‘ Laminated Glass: Safety and Security’ and‘ Toughened Glass: Safety and Strength’ leaflets are now available to download free from the GGF website and printed copies can be purchased on the GGF shop.
These newly revised consumer leaflets are designed to give homeowners basic knowledge
of the glass installed in their homes.
Each brochure gives details of why and where, respectively, toughened and laminated glass should be installed.
Each week the GGF receives many queries from homeowners requesting information on how to ascertain the type of glass installed in their home. The revised leaflets
now give examples of markings to look for and what information the markings should contain. The most recent amendments were focused on simplifying the information already provided by making the wording less technical, giving example markings, as well as updating the references to the newest versions.
