Safe and reliable glazing – a comprehensive analysis

Building law regulations define the safety of building use as one of the fundamental conditions for their design and use, making it essential to analyze every element.

Conducting structural calculations ensures the optimal selection of glass in compliance with legal requirements regarding users safety.

Thermal analysis helps reduce the risk of thermal glass breakage, delamination, and the determination of temperatures on other glazing and facade components.

Saint-Gobain Glass Expertise Consulting offer

Technical service support is provided at every stage of the project—from developing the investment plan and architectural concept, through the implementation phase, to the building's operation (e.g. when applying stickers on glass partition walls).

The service also includes verification by an authorized designer.

Thermal analyses of glazing extend beyond the standard assessment of thermal stress fracture risk, encompassing thermal delamination, condensation risk evaluation, and the determination of sealant temperatures. In addition, temperature analyses of other building envelope elements are performed based on dynamic temperature conditions and solar radiation, taking into account the sun’s varying position relative to the project location.

Structural calculations of glass elements, including facades, interior glazing, glass walkways, balustrades, small architectural elements, and other non-standard structures. These analyses take into account the specifics of mechanical loads (e.g., wind, snow, and user loads), the material properties of glass (including laminated, tempered, and enamelled varieties), and the application of appropriate standards and design guidelines.
