Weather Performance

CATEGORY


Acceptable levels of window performance are vital toachieve required standards, eliminate costlycorrective action, maintain customer confidence anduphold the reputation of the manufacturing company.

Profile and reinforcement choice, window size andconfiguration and installation will all effect windowperformance.

The product variations are innumerable and thereforeit is impossible to provide predictable performanceresults.

Standards require that doors and windows meet thespecification of BS6375 Part 1, for Air Permeability,Water tightness and Wind Resistance, as shown in thefollowing chart.

The units tested shall avoid air and water leakage and

resist wind pressures, measured in pascals, for the

tests listed and to the values indicated under the three

wind pressure categories.

Fabricators/Specifiers are invited to contact theTechnical Department for advice, where special windpressure categories are specified, unusual difficultiesmay be experienced, or where installation in exposedlocations can be expected to be subjected to aboveaverage climatic conditions.

The information on Wind Pressure, found within thissection, is presented in simplified form and is onlyintended for guidance.

For detailed information covering all aspect of WindLoading, Window Performance and Testing etc, refer tothe current issue of the following BSI publications.

The normal maximum permissable deflection for a

window with insulating glass units is the length (L) of

the mullion/transom divided by 150 i.e. (L/150). It is

recommended to ensure that any glass unit is also

capable of withstanding the design wind

pressure/deflection.

For very large windows, e.g. Floor to ceiling glazedscreens such as those found in schools and flats, itmay be preferable to specify a smaller maximumdeflection such as L/ to provide greater stiffnessto the structure. For curtain walling always useL/ .

The maximum Wind Pressure Pascals (Pa) to whichan installed unit may be subjected is dependent uponthe following:-

Note 1.

Height Note:

(a) The maximum Wind Speed likely to beexperienced at the geographical location of thesite.

(b) The Ground Roughness Category. i.e. The amountof obstruction which will interrupt the air flow.

(c) The Height above ground.

Wind Speeds in excess of 120mph may be experienced

on exposed headlands and islands in Northern &

Western coastal regions.

For building heights above 10m refer to BS PublicationBS 6399.

Bay Window Plans Indicating Structural Support Positions

CATEGORY


Bay and Conservatory Structural Notes:-

When designing a bay or conservatory ensure thatthe roof weight is distributed evenly through thestructural supports.

Supports should be spaced at approx. 2m intervals.This may increase depending upon the strength ofthe eaves beam used.

Load bearing kits or packers should be used atsupport positions to ensure that the weight istransferred from the eaves beam to the basestructure correctly.

Ensure that the correct combination of post and/orpoles are used to support the calculated roof weight.

Conservatories with a floor area exceeding 30 sq/mshould be constructed using a portal frame to aidstructural stability.

Ensure that the reinforcements used are adequate towithstand the expected wind loading and/ordeadloads.

Reinforce outer frames adjacent to coupling sections,bay posts and poles.

Fully reinforce all dark surfaced profiles such aswoodgrain finished windows.

All products should be reinforced to the guidelinesstated within this document as a minimum standard.

Coupling arrangements should be fixed with couplingstuds or appropriate fixing screws at a maximumpitch or 600mm and at 150mm from each end.

Although Swish Window and Door Systems have every confidence in window products being fit for purpose for use in conservatory and bay projects, we cannot giveany assurances as to the stability or performance of the overall structure. The overall stability and performance of any conservatory and bay type structures will bedown to factors outside the control of Swish Window and Door Systems such as fixing and installation, glass and glazing, the integrity of the roof system etc. SwishWindow and Door Systems suggest that it is the responsibility of the installer to give confirmation that the overall structure is stable and fit for purpose.

PVC-U & Fire

CATEGORY


In recent years the media have projected the image

that all plastics ignite readily and then burn furiously.

Whilst this carries some degree of truth it is clearly

not true for all plastics materials. Burning PVC, for

example rapidly forms a surface char that inhibits

further combustion.

It is also claimed, quite correctly, that burning

plastics generate toxic gases and fumes. However

almost any material which burns will give off toxic

gases and fumes similar in nature to those arising

from plastics materials, of greater significance is the

rate at which they are generated.

The major toxic constituent of the gases, and the one

causing most fire deaths, is carbon monoxide. This is

produced not only when most plastics burn but also

when wood, wool, cotton and practically every other

naturally occurring combustible material is alight,

particularly when the oxygen supply is restricted as it

so often is in fully developed fire situations.

A fundamental misunderstanding surrounding the

subject of toxicity and fire is the belief that toxicity

equates to toxic hazard. Many hold that just because

a material gives off toxic fumes when burning then it

must present a serious hazard. This is not

necessarily true. Fire safety experts agree that the

toxicity of the combustion products alone is

insufficient to define the toxic hazard associated with

a burning material. Obviously the presence of a

material which is difficult to ignite will reduce the

probability of a fire starting and hence present a

lower risk of toxic emission than one which ignites

easily. Similarly the relative toxicity of the

combustion products of each material may become

of little importance once relative burning rates are

taken into account.

The best way to reduce the toxic hazard in fires, as

well, as the general hazard, is to reduce the risk of

the fire starting in the first place and, if it has already

commenced, to reduce its rate of growth.

This objective can be achieved by several means.

Reducing the number of potential ignition sources is

an obvious first step, but more directly the ignitability

of a building's contents can be reduced as can their

rate of combustion if a fire does start. If there is no

fire then there is no toxic hazard. If a fire starts but

then burns slowly, its slow spread and slow build-up

of toxic fumes permits a longer escape time and

reduces both the toxic hazard and the overall fire

hazard.

PVC, its compounds and the products made from

them, in general score highly on both counts.

Unplasticised PVC, as for example used in window

frames, is extremely difficult to ignite. Even in a

large fire situation it will burn very slowly and will not

sustain combustion once the ignition source has been

removed or has gone out.

Window Frames - The use of PVC-U in window frame

construction has long since been well established in

Germany and is now a rapidly growing application in

Britain. UK Building Regulations do not stipulate any

fire performance standards for the materials used in

window frames. Whilst no degree of fire resistance

as defined by BS476 Parts 20 - 23 can be achieved by

PVC-U window units, work carried out at the Fire

Research Station has shown the fire performance of

PVC is equivalent to that of traditional wood frames

under the conditions of test (BS476-7 and BS476-12).

Condensation - Cause & Effect

CATEGORY


Condensation is a relatively new phenomenonresulting mainly from changes in lifestyle and ourdesire to keep heating costs as low as possible.

Condensation is related to the way we heat, ventilateand insulate our homes. In days gone by, mosthomes had one or two chimneys; allowing up to fourair changes per hour. Doors and windows weregenerally less well fitting than they are today. Thisnatural ventilation was the very process whichprevented condensation.

To cope with increased fuel costs came the trend toinsulate. This resulted in loft insulation, cavity wallinsulation and double glazing.

However, it is also a fact that energy-efficient homesare more likely to suffer condensation –

because anything that keeps warm air in will alsokeep fresh air out, creating the ideal conditions forcondensation to form.

Before we tackle the problem, we have to understandexactly what condensation is, then find the best wayto deal with it.

Condensation is merely the air’s natural moisturecontent settling on cool surfaces. The amount ofmoisture in the air is called relative humidity. If thehumidity level rises above 70% mould and mildewwill be encouraged to grow.

Astonishingly, the average family creates up to 20pints of moisture every day, simply by washing,cooking and breathing. This moisture must gosomewhere and be dealt with to avoid condensation.

Condensation is water vapour suspended in air.

The most common sources of water vapour are cooking, drying clothes on radiators, washingup, in-house plants, moisture in newly-built properties and extensions and from the breath weexhale.

Due to the thermal currents within a house, condensation can occur in a number of places,usually at cold spots, i.e. an unheated room or a conservatory without any form of adequateheating.

Condensation forming on the room side surface of a sealed unit indicates a high water vapourcontent present and that the temperature of the room side glass surface is the coolest surface.Condensation within the airspace of the sealed unit indicated the unit has broken down. Withmodern glass units using coated glass there are instances when condensation may occur onthe outside of the external pain of glass.

STATEMENT:'I did not have condensation before my new windows were installed. There must be somethingwrong with them.'

This is a common assumption but, unfortunately, it is also incorrect. Windows cannot and willnot produce any water. This ‘water’ is produced by our normal living activities. Therefore we,the householder, have created the problem.

Condensation will take many forms, the most common being steaming windows and puddles ofwater on the windowsills. In extreme cases, dark spots of mould will appear around thewindows, wall coverings and mastic seals throughout the house.If you have a non-condensing tumble dryer, make sure it is properly vented to the outside ofyour home. Remember, tumble dryers can create 16 pints of water vapour during one cycle.

Sealed unit replacement windows act as an insulator which will reduce heat loss which undernormal circumstances, would be conducted from the inside of the room to the outside. Pleaseremember that sealed units act as an insulator and are not a source of heat, therefore all

Condensation - Combatting

CATEGORY


Condensation is a result of the build-up of moisture caused by our normal lifestyle andthe continual improvement and modernisation of our homes.

Replacement windows cannot produce condensation. Double glazing will act as aninsulator if there is sufficient heat within the house in the beginning. Therefore it is wiseto attempt to control the amount of water vapour displaced within the household and toprovide controlled ventilation to dispel this moisture before the problem arises.

The bricks, timber, concrete and other materials in an average three bedroom houseabsorb 1,500 gallons of water. The same principle will apply to a conservatory base andthe construction materials used. As with any new building work, please allow a periodof drying out to ensure problems are not encountered in the future.

By acting as a heat barrier and providing an inner pane which is considerably warmerthat the outer pane, the likelihood of condensation forming is reduced.

DOUBLE GLAZING CANNOT CAUSE CONDENSATION

Two sleeping adults exude two pints of moisture in eight hours, which is absorbed aswater vapour by the atmosphere.

Condensation can be controlled by providing natural ventilation to change air on aregular basis and by maintaining an even temperature. This is achieved throughventilation units which are controlled by humidistats, an airbrick, or by opening awindow. Please remember that an airbrick must be open to achieve good results. Aneffective way of controlling condensation would be to install a dehumidifier. This costwould be avoided if the problem is one of ventilation, by installing an airbrick therebycreating ventilation or controlling those causes of moisture, that result in a build-up ofmoisture in the air.

HOW DO I REDUCE

CONDENSATION?

Prevent water vapour finding its way into the other rooms of your house by closingthe adjoining door and leaving a window open after cooking or showering to allow achange of air. Extractor fans and cooker hoods work well for this purpose.

If you find dark mould spots forming, treat the affected areas immediately with asolution of household bleach or Milton fluid. This will kill the mould spores andprevent them from spreading to other areas. All new houses with improved insulationand replacement windows are likely to trap moisture build-up. This can be identifiedand dealt with, as long as all the rooms are heated throughout the house, and the airis changed on a regular basis.

WINDOW ENERGY RATINGS (WER)

A U-Value measures the rate at which heat is lostthough a material with the lower the U-Value, thelower the amount of energy wasted. U-Values aremeasured in watts per square metre degrees Kelvin -this is abbreviated to W/m2k.

A Window Energy Rating (WER) is a more balancedway of quantifying the energy loss across a window. Ittakes account of not only the heat loss from inside toout, for example the U-Value, but also the heat gainfrom outside to inside due to solar heating effects.The calculation was developed by theBritish Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC). Theenergy rating is expressed in units of Kilowatt hourper square metre per year (KWh/m2/year) and fromthis the window is allocated a band from A-G ratingscale.

The rating is provided for a window of industrystandard size, (1480 x 1230 mm) and style of sidehung next to fixed.

BFRC Certified windows carry a label showing thegrade and Rating Values clearly indicated.

WINDOW ENERGY RATING TABLES

The Swish Window and Doors Approved WindowEnergy Rating tables show the performance of Swishproducts using different types of glass unit andspacer bar.

The calculations that have been carried out toascertain the thermal performance and thereforeEnergy Rating of the window have been verified by anindependant approved BFRC simulator.

There are many configurations of Profiles,Reinforcings, Glass Types and Spacer Bar that can beused within a window to achieve a thermal rating andthe tables give a 'snap-shot' of what can be achievedand therefore are not finite.

This information is regularly updated providing up todate simulator results for a variety of windowconfigurations.

For further details, please contact Swish Window andDoors Technical Department.

Windows shall be designed and installed to provideappropriate means of escape in case of fire from thebuilding to a place of safety outside the building.Windows shall be capable of being used for escapesafely and effectively at all times.

The safety requirement will be met if there aresufficient number of escape routes and suitablelocated to enable persons to escape to a place ofsafety in the event of fire.

On the ground storey all habitable rooms, except forkitchens, should either open directly onto a hallleading to the entrance or other suitable exit or beprovided with a window or door.

On the upper storey(s) all habitable rooms, except forkitchens, of a house served by only one stairwayshould be provided with a window or external door.

EMERGENCY EGRESS WINDOWS & EXTERNAL

DOORS (ref. Document 'B').

Any window provided for emergency egress purposesand any external door provided for escape shouldcomply with the following conditions.

1. The window should have an unobstructedopenable area that is at least 0.33m and at least450mm high and450mm wide (the route throughthe window may be at an angle rather than straightthrough). The bottom of the openable area shouldbe not more than 1100mm above the floor.

2.. The window or door should enable the personescaping to reach a place free of danger from fire.This is a matter of judgement in each case, but ingeneral a courtyard or back garden from whichthere is no exit other than through other buildingswould have to be at least as deep as the dwellingis high to be acceptable.

Sound Performance

Glass has a very low sound absorption coefficient.

However, with regard to the acoustic use of glass in

buildings, sound transmission is by far the most

significant and quantifies how much of the incident

sound energy appears on the opposite side of the

glass or window. Among the factors that affect the

overall acoustic performance, which are not all

independent, are the following:-

1. Glass thickness, or mass per unit area;

2. Coincidence effect;

3. Closure or sealing;

4. Edge conditions;

5. Lamination;

6. Pane dimensions;

1. Amount of pane separation;

2. Lining the reveals;

3. Difference in thickness of panes;

4. Non-parallel panes;

5. Mechanical separation.

These effects are not all of the same magnitude, and

some are operative only over a narrow band of

frequencies, whilst others can affect the whole of the

frequency range.

A. SINGLE GLAZING:

B. MULTIPLE GLAZING. FACTORS ARE AS

FOR SINGLE GLAZING, PLUS:

SINGLE GLAZING

DOUBLE GLAZING

Theoretically, sound insulation should increase by

6dB per doubling of glass thickness, but this is not

achieved in practice owing to interference by

resonance effects. As the mass increases, the

frequency at which coincidence effects manifest

themselves will be lower.

The average sound insulation for different glass

thicknesses is given overleaf. Values for specific

frequencies, in general, can be obtained from the

manufacturers.

The benefits of sound damping can be obtained by

the use of laminated glass, which improves the

insulation at the coincidence frequency and at higher

frequencies. At other frequencies, there is little

improvement over ordinary, monolithic glass of the

same thickness.

Sound insulation increases with increase in pane

separation, but, in general, beyond 200mm the

incremental increase is small.

Purge Ventilation (Opening Windows or Doors)

To comply with Document F,should include trickle ventilators if

originally fitted, alternatively an equivalentbackground ventilation opening should be provided inthe same room. If the original window did not havetrickle ventilators, it is not a requirement to providethem.

In all cases the ventilation opening should notsmaller than was originally provided and should becontrollable.

Where no ventilation opening is provided thefollowing minimum sizes should be adopted:-

Habitable rooms i.e.Bedrooms, lounges - 5000mm equivalent area.

Wet rooms i.e.Kitchens, Bathrooms - 2500mm equivalent area.

In all cases the opening window sizes or the overallpurge ventilation to any room should not have aworse level of compliance than before thecommencement of work.

Although not a legal requirement, Swish Window andDoors recommend that wherever possible the purgeventilation rate should achieve at least 1/10th of theroom floor area.

Trickle Ventilators

Dwellings that are designed to be ventilated by theuse of background ventilation and extraction fans canbe constructed as follows:-

1) Extract fans to be fitted to all “wet rooms” i.e.Kitchens & Bathrooms

2) The overall background ventilation for the buildingcan be taken from the table below, this will bedependant upon the overall floor area and numberof bedrooms..

3) There needs to be a minimum of 5000mmequivalent area in habitable rooms and 2500mmin non-habitable rooms.

If other methods of building ventilation are to beinstalled, guidance should be sought on how muchtrickle ventilation is required in the building as awhole or in individual rooms.

Purge Ventilation (Opening Windows or Doors)

Purge ventilation provision is required in eachhabitable room i.e. Bedrooms and lounges. It shouldalso be applied to kitchens and bathrooms wherepossible.

The required opening area of a window or door isrelative to the room floor area and isdictated by it’s opening angle. Windows and doorsopening beyond 30 must achieve 1/20th of the floorarea. Windows opening less than 30 must achieve1/10th of the floor area. Windows fitted withrestrictors will be limited to less than 30 opening.

If a room contains more than one openable window,the areas of all the parts may be added to achieve therequired proportion of the floor area. The requiredproportion of the floor area is determined by theopening angle of the largest window in the room.

If a room only contains doors, the areas of all theparts may be added to achieve at least1/20th of the floor area. If a room contains acombination of doors and windows, the areas of allthe opening parts may be added together to achieve1/20th of the floor area.

In areas which areused infrequently, provisions such as signs or marking of the projecting part to make it easier to see will satisfy therequirements.

Provision shall be made to prevent people moving inor about the building from colliding with openwindows, skylights or ventilators.

The safety requirement will be met if windows,skylights, and ventilators can be left open withoutdanger of people colliding with them. This could beachieved by either:

1) Installing windows etc so that projectingparts are kept away from people moving inand around the building.

2) By Installing features which guide peoplemoving in or about the building away fromany open window, skylight or ventilator.

The new revised regulations are effective from 6thApril 2006 and they affect the installation of windows,doors and conservatories. It will continue to be amandatory requirement for all replacement windowsand doors in England and Wales to demonstrateenergy efficiency. That is achieved by using either oneof two specific methods; U-Value or Window EnergyRating (WER) to demostrate compliance.

Under the new regulations, windows fitted in anexisting dwelling has to achieve a specific energyrating known as a U-Value, of 2.0W/m k oralternatively they have to achieve a minimal WindowEnergy Rating (WER) of 'E' in or to comply. If theproducts are being fitted into an extension to aproperty they are required to achieve a slightlydifferent value, either a U-Value of 1.8W/m k or aWER of 'D'. Some listed or historic buildings may beexempt, they need to show an energy saving but in away that doesn't affect the character of the building.

Doors featuring more than 50% glazing, that arefitted into a property extension or into an existingbuilding as a replacement require a U-Value of2.2W/m k and all other doors should boast a U-Valueof 3.0W/m k.

The requirements for windows in conservatories thathave a floor area greater them 30m are identical tothose required of replacement windows, they mustachieve either a U-Value of 2.0W/m k or a WER of 'E'.If the floor area within your conservatory less than30m , then it is exempt from this requirement.

Windows - Safe Access for Cleaning

PERFORMANCE

The safety requirement will be met if provision ismade for safe means of access for cleaning bothsides of glazed surfaces where there is a danger offalling more than two metres.

5) Provision of suitable anchorage points for safetyharnesses or abseiling hooks.

6) Only in circumstances where other means cannotbe used, space for scaffolding towers should beprovided, and located so that glazed surfaces canbe cleaned.

SAFE ACCESS FOR CLEANING WINDOWS


Provision shall be made for windows or glazedsurfaces to be safely accessible for cleaning.

Where glazed surfaces cannot be cleaned safely by aperson standing on the ground, a floor, or otherpermanent stable surface, the requirement should besatisfied by provisions such as the following:

1) Provision of windows of a size and design thatallow the outside surface to be cleaned safelyfrom inside the building (see Diagram 1). Windowswhich reverse for cleaning should be fitted with amechanism which holds the window in thereversed position. Additional guidance is given inBS 8213: Part 1 Windows, doors and rooflights.

2) Provision of an adequate area of firm levelsurface, in a safe place, to allow use of portableladders not more than 9m long (measured fromthe ground to the upper support). Where laddersup to 6m long will be used, normal soil willprovide a suitable standing surface (see Diagram2); Where ladders over 6m long will be usedsuitable tying or fixing points should be provided(see Diagram 3).

3) Provision of walkways at least 400mm wide,either with guarding at least 1100mm high, orwith anchorages for sliding safety harnesses (seeDiagram 3).

Safety Glass & Safe Breakage

The information provided is the minimum standardrecommended, based on a domestic situation wherefew people use the area. These standards are notapplicable for public or commercial buildings. Whenchoosing the glazing of risk areas, the followingcriteria should be considered. These include the typeof people using the building and its function. Forexample, special consideration should be given toareas where young children play or where elderly orinfirm people could fall against a window (landing,bottom of stairs etc). Under these circumstancessafety glass should be specified.

Where safety glass is required, it is recommended thattoughened glass is used as the standard safety glassand laminated glass only supplied when specified.

If any doubt is experienced when considering glasschoice for a particular application, you are stronglyadvised to seek advice from your glass supplier.

Safe breakage is defined in:-

And is based on an impact test which requires theresult of the impact to be limited to creating:

1) Small clear opening only, with a limit to the size ofthe detached particles.

2) Disintegration with small detached particles.

3) Breakage resulting in separate pieces that are notsharp or pointed.

BS 6206: 1981 Specification for impact performance

requirements for flat safety glass and safety plastics

for use in buildings: clause 5.3

TOUGHENED GLASS

LAMINATED GLASS

is produced by subjectingannealed glass to a process of heating and rapidcooling which can increase its strength to four or fivetimes that of annealed glass. However, the windloading (deflection) will be identical to that ofannealed glass.

It should be pointed out that toughened glass is afinished product, and as such cannot be cut ordrilled. All such work on the glass must be carriedout prior to toughening.

On fracturing, toughened glass will disintegrate intosmall particles which are unlikely to cause cuttingand piercing injuries, which could occur withfractured annealed glass.

is produced by combining two ormore panes of glass with layers of polyvinylbutyral(p.v.b.), or with resin interlayers.

The performance varies with the number and typesof glass and interlayers to achieve safety, security,bullet, blast and fire resistance etc.

Laminated glass can be cut to size and suppliedfrom stock by the supplier.

When fractured, the pieces of glass are held togetherby the interlayers and the danger of injuries areminimised.

Safety glass must be used for glazing windows thatare wholly or partially within 800mm from floor leveland other risk areas, such as stairways and landingsetc.

In domestic applications, provided the area of thedouble glazed unit does not exceed 2.5m², thenannealed glass may be used. If the area of the glassexceeds 2.5m² then safety glass must be specified.

It is recommended that safety glass, eithertoughened or laminated, is used in Residential andPatio doors and side panels.

Impact Performance & Breakage Characteristics

Breakage Characteristics

To assist designers and specifiers in selecting themost appropriate glazing, the breakagecharacteristics of the following materials aredescribed.

Annealed glass is the basic glass (e.g. float,patterned) from which the other glasses referred toin this annex are processed. If the annealed glass isbroken and pieces are displaced, the resulting glassedges will be sharp.

If wired glass is broken and the pieces are heldtogether by wires, penetration is unlikely. However, ifthe wires are broken and the material is penetrated,the resulting glass edges will be sharp.

The breakage characteristics will be similar to thoseof the types of glass used in its construction, but thepieces will remain substantially adhered to theinterlayer. Depending on the type and thickness ofthe interlayer, the broken glass is unlikely to bepenetrated.

Thermally toughened soda-lime glass is difficult tobreak, but if broken it fragments into small, relativelyharmless pieces.

If heat strengthened glass is broken the resultingedges will be sharp.

This is annealed glass covered with speciallyformulated organic materials (e.g. thin applied films)intended to hold the glass together after breakage. Ifbroken it will be difficult to penetrate provided thatthe covering is applied in accordance with themanufacturer's recommendations.

Impact Performance

Glass and plastic materials, which are intended foruse as safety glazing materials in critical locations inbuildings where human impact can occur, should beclassified according to their performance whensubjected to a series of pendulum tests.

The impact test utilises a lead shot-filled leather bagweighing 45kg dropped like a pendulum fromdifferent heights.

Details of the impact tests are given in BS 6206: 1981'Specification for Impact Performance Requirementsfor Flat Safety Glass and Safety Plastics for use inbuildings'.

There are three safety glazing classifications: A (thehighest), B, and C (the lowest).

· Toughened Glass would always obtain a Class Aclassification.

· Laminated Glass with a PVB (polyvinylbutyral) orCIP (cast-in-place) interlayer would normallyachieve at least a Class B classification dependingon the glass and interlayer thickness.

· Wired glass such obtain a Class C classification.

Glasses meeting these requirements and intendedfor use as safety glasses must be permanentlymarked as conforming to BS 6206.

Please contact your glass supplier for clarification ofglass classification

Manifestation of Glazing & ExceptionsCATEGORY


ExceptionsThere are some exceptions to the requirements forsafety glass, these are based on the robustness ofannealed glass:

1) Panes having the smaller dimension less than250mm and of area less than 0.5m may beminimum 6mm thick glass not complying withBS 6206.

2) Panes forming parts of fronts (but not otherlocations) to shops, showrooms, offices,factories and public buildings, supported on alledges, may be of equivalent robustness notcomplying with BS 6206. Annealed glass sizelimitations are as follows:8mm glass must not exceed 1100 x 1100mm.10mm glass must not exceed 2250 x 2250mm.12mm glass must not exceed 3000 x 4500mm.15mm glass (and thicker) no limit.

2

Manifestation of GlazingLarge areas of transparent glazing used to subdividea building may not be immediately apparent,particularly under certain lighting conditions. Peoplein passage in or about the building may not be awareof the glazing and may collide with it. The glazedareas referred to include large uninterrupted areasof transparent glazing which form, or are part of, theinternal or external walls and doors of shops,showrooms, offices, public and other non-domesticbuildings.

Permanent manifestation is only required when othermeans of indicating the presence of the glazing arenot present.

When manifestation is required it should be of asufficient size to be immediately obvious and shouldbe positioned between 600 and1500mm above floorlevel and preferably be permanent and durable.

Glass PackingCATEGORY


GLASS PACKING

For correctt functioning of a window or door thecorrect procedures have to be observed. The glassmust be carefully packed in the frame with dedicatedbridging packers (Part number 9852) and glazingpackers (Part number 3321-3344). The diagramsbelow show the correct locations for the positioningthe packers in various types of frame.

Most types of glazing may be specified for Swishwindows and doors. Except for casement windowsthe glass and glazing beads will generally be fitted onthe room side for ease of installation and security.Casement windows, however, may be specified witheither external or internal beads.

Where external glazing beads are specified, usuallyfor reasons of aesthetics, in ground floor oraccessible locations, additional glazing securityshould be specified in the form of security beads orsecurity glazing clips.

Most windows and doors have either 24mm or 28mmglazing, but other thicknesses can beaccommodated.
