PGC International Accepted for Presentation at GlassFab
The Protective Glazing Council (PGC) International has been accepted as a presenter during the Contract Glazing General Session at the GANA Glass Fabrication & Glazing Educational Conference next year in Cincinnati.  The event, which routinely draws over 200 attendees including fabricators, glazing contractors and estimators from across North America, educates those new to the industry (typically in it for five years or less.)  The presentation will offer an introduction to the protective glazing industry for many of those who will be specifying and buying products for use protective glazing applications.

"We are pleased that PGC International will be presenting to our members," said Ashley Charest, Account Executive for GANA.  "They will bring hands-on expertise about protective glazing products, applications and concepts to our contract glazing project managers and estimators who will greatly appreciate and utilize the knowledge."

The presentation will focus specifically on how PGC International and its members can provide guidance on construction design involving hurricane impact or blast mitigation specifications.  Other points include:

• A basic understanding of the importance of building code compliance
• The importance of complete system testing compliance, quality control procedures, and how to use PGC International as a resource
• Materials used in protective glazing assemblies will be reviewed including laminates, films, anchoring systems, types of glass and glazing infill materials
• A case study will be discussed to emphasize glazing design details when blast mitigation is specified
