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 .
