Technical Glass Products offers free video on fire rated glass

Technical Glass Products (TGP) presents Burning Issues: Understanding Today's Fire Rated Glass & Framing, a free educational video available to architects, specifiers, code officials and other industry professionals.

Hosted by actor Grant Goodeve, the 20-minute video guides viewers through the various categories of fire-rated glass products and how to determine which materials are best for a given application. The video also addresses new design innovations in fire-rated glazing materials, the impact of recent code changes to improve product safety, and the effect of new security concerns being shaped by world events. A segment on fire-rated framing introduces some of the advancements that have resulted in a wide variety of new options. 

The video, available on VHS or DVD, will be used as part of a free presentation that TGP offers to architects and other qualified industry professionals.
