The new guide covers the use of safety and security glass and glazing in buildings including not just windows, doors and curtain walling but also interiors such as shower enclosures and elevator enclosures. ‘This guide plugs a huge gap in current industry information on safety & security glazing’ The guide also details the key performances of safety and security glazing when subject to manual, ballistic and explosive attacks. Other areas concerning the safety of persons such as overhead glazing, protective glass barriers, glass stairs and floors are also comprehensively covered. Effectively bringing all the key information on safety and security glazing into one publication, the guide is primarily aimed at informing architects, specifiers, building planners, surveyors and building managers.
