Glass & Glazing Trade Federation
The Glass and Glazing Federation represents companies that manufacture, supply or install glass and glass related products in the UK and internationally.
The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) is the main representative organisation for companies involved in all aspects of the manufacture of flat glass and products and services for all types of glazing, in commercial and domestic sectors.
Members of the GGF include companies that manufacture and install energy efficient windows, in homes and commercial buildings, the performance glass used in every type of building from houses to high-rise tower blocks and the components that are used to manufacture every type of glazing.
GGF Members produce and install safety, fire and emergency glazing, special films to protect against the sun’s rays or terrorist and vandal attacks and in fact, every type of glazing installation, no matter how specialised.
The GGF is recognised by government and plays a large part in influencing new standards and regulations, such as The Building Regulations, the rules that govern and control the way our buildings are constructed in the UK.
When looking for a manufacturer, supplier or contractor for all glass types and glass related products, energy efficient windows or conservatories you should start by looking for a Glass and Glazing Federation Member.

History
The Glass and Glazing Federation was founded in 1977, yet traces its lineage back to the glass and glazing industry’s earliest days in Britain.
The GGF was founded on 13th January 1977 as a successor to the Flat Glass Association (founded 1st March 1964), incorporating the Insulating Glass, Safety Glazing and Glass Benders Associations. This brought together the representative bodies of the major parts of the industry at that time.
The antecedent of the Flat Glass Association was the Plate Glass Association, the records for which go back to 1880’s. There is more evidence in the Minute Books held in the GGF’s archives of the glass and glazing companies meeting for their common interests a century earlier in 1780.
