“The Burning Question” is a new 60-minute RIBA-approved CPD seminar from Systemglas manufacturer Promat UK with up-to-date technical guidance on how to specify dependable fire resistant glazing for commercial, public and domestic applications.
Amongst the topics covered are the fire regulations, standards and basics of fire glass classifications, through to appropriate uses of fire glass, the different types of glass and framing commonly used, and how to specify with confidence.
The CPD seminar is available to book now and can be delivered in person in a ‘lunch and learn’ format or via online platforms such as Zoom or Teams.
Drawing on Promat UK’s expertise as both a glass and framing systems manufacturer and processor, the CPD aims to furnish specifiers with the key information they need to make informed choices and avoid the pitfalls, primarily using a fully-tested system approach such as its Systemglas range.
Cath McLean, segment manager, glass, and author of the CPD, said: “Designing and installing effective passive fire protection measures using glass requires a thorough understanding of how the different materials combine and interact. And, unfortunately, there is no margin for error, which is why we’ve created this training resource to help specifiers navigate the various regulations and standards and understand how to get it right for critical applications that protect people’s lives.”
