| In the following we’ll be limiting ourselves to the production of single pieces and small jobs of identical pieces, with applications predominantly in construction (e.g. windows, curtain walls, doors, showers, mirrors, kitchen splash backs) and interior design (e.g. display cases, furniture).
| New generation thin, lightweight and damageresistant glass seems to be the optimal material for extremely deformable structural elements for façades and building skins.
| Extended abstract (The complete contribution will be published in the Glass Structures & Engineering journal).
| The high-tech, high strength glazing that covers today’s megatall buildings is as important to the building’s performance as the steel and concrete inside it.
| This article reviews the history and current status of Vacuum Insulating Glass (VIG), and discusses future possibilities for this technology.
| This paper will describe the design, detailing, testing and construction of structural glass beams as part of load bearing grid shell structure in the newly built Zaryadye Park in Moscow, Russia.
| The author proposes a simple surface quality test using a standard window cleaning scraper and common smartphone or shop microscope.

| Structural glass can be used as a fantastic alternative to a traditional façade system.
| To provide stiffness, shading and privacy with abundant daylight and a feeling of openness for restaurant extensions and an entrance canopy to a London hotel, we used glass sandwich panels with aluminium honeycomb core.
| There are an increasing amount of products available that offer varying degrees of natural daylight and most will be familiar with smaller scale skylights, rooflights or roof windows.
| You might not think about window making as an art form, but every pane and frame created at Pella requires exceptional skill and craftsmanship.
| Choosing new windows should be approached with care and calculation.
| The AGI educational series illustrates and describes common glazing challenges as a means to communicate best practices for the design and construction industry, not as a sole source for design guidance.
| Condensation, and in very cold scenarios, ice can form on the external pane of some modern glass units.
| Triple glazing is essentially the same as double glazing, except it is constructed with 3 panes of glass, creating 2 sealed air cavities.
