Safety & Structural Laminated Glass Packages

Safety assured

Safeguard laminated structural safety glass systems. Modern architecture often demands that its glass products perform a mechanical function with integrity and safety in failure. Safeguard offers these performances with all the visual clarity, aesthetic flexibility, thermal safety and thermal insulation.

The uses for Safeguard structural glass systems include;

• Safeguard Balustrades
• Safeguard Canopies
• Safeguard Lift Shafts Facades
• Pilkington Planar™ Façade Systems
• Frameless Glass Door and Screen.
• Safeguard Partition Systems.
• Safeguard Tego Fail Safe and Fail Secure systems

Structurally designed with a range of fitting systems and underwritten with detailed project specific designs, calculations and analysis.

Safeguard product performance

Where single glazed annealed or toughened glass are likely to be breached Safeguard is much more likely to remain intact, preventing further damage or injury. Safeguard remains intact if one leaf breaks and provides safety glazing in accordance with BS6206.

Safeguard structural glasses may be a combination of annealed, toughened, heat strengthened, heat soaked, textured, tinted, printed or screen printed panels.

Safeguard is a range of products developed to satisfy the requirements of European Impact Safety Regulation EN12600 and is manufactured in accordance with EN12543 pt1-6, EN 14449 and carries a CE mark in accordance with the European Construction Products Directive.

Current European Regulations demand that glass breaks safely under human impact. All Safeguard products are designed and manufactured to meet these standards, and can be specified for balustrading, canopies lift shafts, façades and atriums. Heat soaked* and heat strengthened* Safeguard is available in toughened and annealed combinations.

Safeguard Structural Toughened Laminated Glass

With recent changes in the approach to structural glass in overhead applications, laminated toughened glass has become the preferred option. Glass used in structural applications will be required to provide mechanical support for its own self weight and a number of pre determined applied loads.

The principle behind toughened and heat soaked* laminated glass is simple; should the “loaded” panel get broken then the remaining unbroken leaf will hold the structure in position awaiting remedial action. Select the relevant loading and performance criteria, then select the relevant glass thickness and types.


Lift Shafts

W ith the danger of pedestrians falling through existing glass cladding into the lift shaft or being struck by pieces of lifting gear going astray, changes in specification have been demanded (pr EN 81-2:1998 and 81-3: 1998).

Once again toughened laminated glass is a preferred option usually utilizing a range of bolt fixings. There may well be a requirement for manifestation to be applied. We are able to provide a range of sandblasted or screen printed designs.


Safeguard Fixing Systems

GGGA01: Safeguard base clamp fix system (type I, slab edge)
GGGA02: Safeguard base clamp fix system (type II)
GGGA03: Safeguard bolt fix system

Pilkington Planar™ Systems


GGSW Ltd are accredited installers of Pilkington Planar™ engineered glass systems. Used in facades, canopies, glass box construction, Pilkington Planar™ offers single or double glazed solutions combining stand alone clamp fixed glass with bolts, tie rods and glass fins.
Each project is individually engineered and designed to incorporate the Pilkington Planar™ warranty.

Frameless glass doors, screens and partitions

Safeguard frameless door and screen systems utilise pivot, rail, patch hinges or sliding rail systems. Single or double frameless door arrangements are phased into structural screens with over-panels and side screens.

DDA requirements determine that manifestation should be considered at 800mm and 1600mm intervals. Partition loads should comply with the requirements of BS6180. Fittings are provided in stainless steel or powder coated finishes and combine with clear, low iron, tinted or textured glass. Safeguard toughened, toughened and laminated or Tego Failsecure products are available.

Frameless Glass Doors
Safeguard Tego Failsafe and Failsecure

Glass and polycarbonate products for safety and security. Bullet resistant and manual attack performances to BS EN 1063 : 2000 - “Glass in building - Security Glazing - Testing and classification of resistance against bullet attack” and the requirements of the Loss Prevention Society code LPS1175.
