deviation of the shorter side measured from a perpendicular to the baseline shall
not exceed.
+1.5mm
-1.5mm
5.

Flatness:
The cellular honeycomb core is cut to 0.2mm tolerance, which provides
an
exceptionally flat surface for skin bonding. This method of
composite assembly
provides extreme optical panel flatness.
To establish panel flatness, panels should be measured under ambient factory
temperature and humidity. The tolerances do not take into account any thermal
expansion or contraction.
Manufacture Metal skins are coated with a non-flammable, two part polyurethane
based laminating adhesive, which has a low viscosity and provides foaming to
ensure maximum coverage is achieved. The adhesive is applied by an automated
diamond bead application system which has a co-ordinated conveyor-feed
system to ensure all items achieve consistent coverage. The core is positioned
between the metal skins and the assembly is structurally bonded within a heated
platen press.

Code of Practice for glazing for buildings

annealed glass - glass that has been subjected to controlled cooling to reduce the
presence of residual stresses in glass thus allowing easy cutting.
coated glass - glass substrate to which a coating has been applied, i.e. one or more
thin solid layers of inorganic materials, in order to modify one or more of its properties.
float glass - transparent glass, the surfaces of which are flat and parallel so that they
provide clear undistorted vision and reflection; float glass is manufactured by allowing
glass from a tank furnace to flow across a bath of molten metal.
fully tempered glass (FT) - is up to five times as strong as annealed glass and when
broken breaks into innumerable small fragments of more or less cubical shape; it is
intended for general glazing where high strength is desired and for safety glazing such
as doors, shower enclosures etc.
heat strengthened glass (HS) - is about twice as strong as annealed glass and when
broken the fragments are somewhat larger than fully tempered glass; it is intended for
general glazing where additional strength is desired.
heat treated flat glass - is classified in two different categories: Fully tempered (FT)
and heat strengthened (HS) flat glass.
insulating glass - comprises two or more panes of glass hermetically sealed at their
periphery; the air space(s) so formed are generally filled with dehydrated air, however
other gases may be used for improved thermal insulation.
laminated glass - consists of two or more panes of glass with an interlayer of
reinforcing material between each pane; the interlayers are resistant to penetration
and they absorb impact shock, holding the glass in place and preventing extensive
spalling of glass fragments.
off-line coating - process whereby individual pieces of glass are coated
on-line coating - process whereby the coating is applied to the surface of a
continually moving ribbon of glass during the manufacturing process.
patterned glass - translucent glass manufactured by the rolling process; usually the
deeper the pattern, the greater the obscuration and diffusion.

polished wired glass - transparent wired glass produced by grinding and polishing
wired patterned glass
safety glass - glass which when tested in accordance with BS 6206 either does not
break, or breaks safely, and affords protection from cutting and piercing injuries in the
event of accidental human impact.
security glass - glass that affords protection against a specified level of attack.
sheet glass - transparent glass, manufactured by the flat drawn process; it has natural
fire-finished surfaces, but because the two surfaces are never perfectly flat and
parallel, there is always some distortion of vision and reflection.
silvered glass - is produced by the deposition of silver on to glass; the silver is then
protected by coatings, such as in the manufacture of mirrors.
tempered glass - see heat treated flat glass
tinted glass - transparent or translucent glass, depending on type of glass, where the
whole body of the glass is tinted
translucent glass - glass that transmits light with varying degrees of diffusion so that
vision is not clear.
venetian strip silvering - is a process by which alternate bands of silvered and clear
glass are produced to form what is often referred to as one-way vision glass - see
also silvered glass.

wired glass - has steel wire mesh completely embedded in it

Coated Glass
Coating of glass is supposed to modify one or more of its properties. The properties
modified are:
- light reflectance/ transmittance
- solar heat reflectance/transmittance
- surface emitivity
There is only an European draft Standard (pr EN 1096-1) for coated glass existing.
Definition therefore is only possible by specifying certain manufacturers products.
The following coating systems are generally available:
- Medium performance solar control coating on clear float glass which is coated
during manufacture (on-line / pyrolitic) with a reflective layer that is sufficiently durable
for the glass to be used as single glazing.
- High performance solar control coating on clear or tinted float glass, which is
coated after manufacture (off-line / sputtered) and also after any further treatment like
lamination and tempering. This type of glass is mainly used for double-glazing only
with the coating on the second surface.
- Low emitivity (Low-E) coating for improved thermal insulation, available as on- or offline coating. This coating is normally only used for double glazing and is applied to the
third surface.

2 04 02

Tempered Glass
Tempered glass is available in two different kinds:
1.As thermally toughened- or fully tempered (FT) glass;
2. As heat strengthened glass (HS) - see definitions;
Only No. 1 can be produced to conform as safety glass.

2 04 02 01

01.0 Fully tempered glass (thermally toughened) may be produced from float-, sheet-,
patterned- or body tinted float and sheet glass and shall comply with the
requirements for safety glass according to BS 6206 or an equivalent Standard.
02.0 Only on-line coated glass shall be tempered; Off-line coatings have to be applied
after the tempering process.
03.0 Opaque float- or sheet glass shall have a coloured ceramic frit fired into one
surface during the tempering process.

03.0 Opaque float- or sheet glass shall have a coloured ceramic frit fired into one
surface during the tempering process.

Laminated glass is made of two or more layers of glass, bond together by interlayers
of non-visible foils or cast-in-place resin. In case of an accidental bodily impact it may
break, yet it will not fall into pieces, it will firmly stay in place. It can be used as safety
glass and for various types of security glasses.
Thickness for safety glass above the minimum has to be defined according to required
performance classification (local authorities).
Thickness for burglar resistant security glass above the minimum has to be defined
according to required performance classification either by using BS 5544, or
requirements of local authorities.

2 02 03 02

Burglar Resistant Glass - Security Glass


Burglar resistant- or manual attack resistant glass shall either be a 3-ply laminate with
one interlayer of polyvinyl butyral (pvb) of 1,52 mm thickness, or a 5-ply laminate with
two 1,14 mm (pvb) interlayers. Minimum nominal thickness 7,5 mm (2 x 3 mm glass +
1,52 mm interlayer) or as indicated in schedules. It shall resist manual attack by
means of an axe, crowbar, pickaxe, etc. and delay access to a protected space for a
short period of time. It shall comply with BS 5544 or an equivalent Standard.

Intumescent Interlayer Laminated Glass


There are two different fire-rated glass types available. They are defined in ISO 9051
as follows:
RE-glass: fire resistant for a given time/temperature
REI-glass: as above, yet with additional insulation capabilities (max. temperature rise
of the unexposed side 140 deg C)

EXECUTION

3.1

Preparation
Openings and framing systems scheduled to receive glass shall be examined
for compliance with approved shop drawings, FGMA-01 and glass
manufacturers recommendations including size, squareness, offsets at
corners, presence and function of weep system, face and edge clearance
requirements and effective sealing between joints of glass-framing members.
detrimental materials shall be removed from glazing rabbet and glass surface
and wiped dry with solvent. Glazing surfaces shall be dry.

3.2

Installation
Glass and glazing work shall be performed in accordance with approved shop
drawings, FGMA-01, glass manufacturers instructions and warranty
requirements. Glass shall be installed with factory labels intact and removed
only when instructed. Wired glass shall be installed in accordance with NFPA
80. Edges and corners shall not be ground, nipped or cut after leaving factory.
