This factory tour aims to provide: Architects, other Specifiers and Designers an overview of the manufacturing process of bespoke secondary glazing systems An introduction to the different types of products ranging from slimline, to mid-weight to heavy-duty security, in the showroomThe RIBA CPD presentation will then put the manufacturing process into context showing the benefits of the final product.

This blog will help you to become familiar with relevant government policy and environmental issues that affect the specification of secondary glazing. It will also help with understanding technical issues around installing secondary glazing on historical or difficult building projects. An article will be published every 10 days on one of the following strands:The Built Environment - This will help you to understand topical issues in the construction industry Secondary Glazing in Practice - This will cover common queries on secondary glazing Treat of the Month and a very challenging secondary glazing project from a technical point of view.

Sustainable design is no longer a catchphrase, it’s an imperative. The need and urgency to update the existing building stock has never been greater and upgrading windows is one of the most challenging aspects of retrofit projects.This RIBA approved CPD helps you to navigate through all the aspects of secondary glazing specification. You’ll learn how to determine what’s right for you or your client’s needs, what design considerations to bear in mind and lots more. The CPD talks about typical applications and case studies and looks at how to maximize product performance such as U-values, acoustic insulation and security. It also covers all the important regulatory aspects and design considerations, with particular emphasis on Heritage and Listed Buildings. The aim is to give you confidence to design discreet, sympathetic treatments that meet the required performance levels and encourage you to involve your secondary glazing provider early on in the design process. You can book an online or in-person CPD. The in-person CPD can be held either at your office or in the company premises in St Albans. If you visit the St Albans office, a factory tour can be offered to give you an in-depth insight into the bespoke design and manufacture.Contents:·      How secondary glazing can help meet net zero and other sustainability commitments·      Thermal insulation and upgrades to Part L (including U-values)·      Control of noise with acoustic insulation (including dB ratings) ·      Window security (including blast, intruder, ballistic and fire) ·      Applications (including Listed and heritage buildings)·      Standards and regulations·      Specification process (including the range of products)·      Maintenance·      Economics.
