Glazing at height

CIRIA’s new publication, Guidance on glazing at height (C632) provides information on glazing in both new and existing buildings and which has a potential to fall on breaking. Particular emphasis is given to the safety concerning glass façades, glass roofs and canopies, and glass barriers that protect a drop. Information is provided on glass manufacture and processing, the types, strength and breakage behaviour of glazing infill materials and glazing systems, the parties involved in the building life cycle, and the performance of glazing and its associated risks. Additional sections summarise existing advice within the UK and consider the use of risk assessments in decision-making (including worked examples of glazing risk assessments). enquiries@ciria.org
