Glass is taking on an ever-increasing number of functions in modern construction: it protects, enhances design, conserves resources and contributes to building safety. At the same time, the requirements regarding certification, standards, sustainability and product performance are becoming more stringent.
The ift Rosenheim sessions demonstrate how glass products can meet these requirements. Three specialist presentations will explore key future topics for the industry – from impact-resistant glazing and environmental product declarations to fire protection using glass.
Three presentations, one goal: better glass solutions for future-proof buildings
These practice-oriented presentations will provide sound decision-making guidance, valuable information on standards and regulations, and clear recommendations for action. Afterwards, participants will have ample opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with the experts.
1. Safety under extreme conditions
How resilient is glazing against vandalism, extreme weather or extreme stress conditions? This presentation outlines the measures, test procedures and design principles that help to enhance user safety and the resilience of glass products.
2. Life Cycle Assessment and EPDs in focus
This presentation focuses on how Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and life cycle assessments can be turned into a competitive advantage, and what role they play in the new Construction Products Regulation (CPR).
3. Fire protection with glass
Fire-resistant glazing must meet stringent safety requirements whilst also taking into account design and functional considerations. This presentation provides an overview of current requirements, innovative product solutions, and verification and assessment procedures for the safe use of fire-resistant glass.
