PGC International Updates
Informational Paper for the Industry
In 2005, the Protective Glazing Council (PGC) International
first released An Information Paper on the Fenestration Industry -
Focus on Protective Glazing Systems. Since that time, the document has been downloaded over 7,000 times by
members of the industry. The document, which is a broad-range look
at the various organizations, resources, standards and specifications in
the protective glazing industry, was marked for update earlier this year
by the PGC International Resources Committee.
"The Committee recognized the many changes in the
industry over the past three years," explained Sara Neiswanger, Account
Executive for PGC International. "After several thorough
examinations
'in-person' and online, Committee members were able to bring this valuable resource
up-to-date for the many who have downloaded it from our website."
The updated items include:
- The Design Software Section was extensively
updated, as well as divided into different application goals/types
for better ease of use when selecting the right tool for the project
- The Guideline specifications were updated and
significantly expanded.
- The Product/Systems Outline was updated and
expanded into more specific or new technologies.
- Additional clarifications, increased detail, and
updated language for consistency were generally added throughout the
document.
"Anyone who has downloaded this resource before will
need to download the new December 2008 version," said Neiswanger.
"The improvements make this a much better and more useful document for
the industry."

Paper, please visit the Resources Section of the website at
