Updated Laminated Glass and Toughened Glass leaflets launched

Updated Laminated Glass and Toughened Glass leaflets launched

Revised Laminated Glass: Safety and Security and Toughened Glass: Safety and Strength leaflets are now available to download free from the GGF website and to purchase on the GGF Shop.

These newly revised consumer leaflets are designed to give homeowners basic knowledge of the glass installed in their homes.

Each gives details of why and where, respectively, toughened and laminated glass will be installed.

Many queries to the GGF are from homeowners requesting information on how to ascertain what glass is installed in their home.  These leaflets give examples of markings to look for and what information the markings should contain. This information allows the homeowners to check new and existing glazing for compliance to Building Regulations and EN Product Standards for Thermally Treated Glasses.

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.

Both the Laminated Glass and Toughened Glass leaflets will be regularly used by the GGF to send consumers the information they require.

They will also be of great benefit to GGF Members who can distribute them to their customers, which in turn continues to promote the Federation and its Members.

Laminated Glass: Safety and Security

This trifold leaflet explains what laminated glass/laminated safety glass is and covers the main types of laminated glass as well as special laminates.

Other areas included are appearance, marking, availability and a list of reasons why customers should choose laminated glass with a guide to the levels of protection laminated glass offers.

It is a popular and useful leaflet for all laminated glass suppliers.

Toughened Glass: Safety and Strength

This handy leaflet explains what toughened glass is and highlights its flexibility for many glazing solutions and systems.

The publication also outlines the mandatory (critical) safety glazing areas where safety glazing materials such as toughened glass must be used by law, in new and replacement glazing applications in all buildings.

In addition the leaflet covers the extensive range of toughened glass and other thermally treated glass as well as process restrictions.

If you manufacture, supply or install toughened glass this is a very useful leaflet to provide to your customers.
