In this CPD, we help you to navigate through all the aspects of secondary glazing specification. You’ll learn how to determine what’s right for your or your client’s needs, what design considerations to bear in mind and lots more.We talk about typical applications and case studies and look at how to maximise product performance such as U-values, acoustic insulation and security. We also cover all the important regulatory aspects and design considerations, with particular emphasis on Heritage and Listed Buildings.
