Scotland’s housing specifiers gain glazing know how
9th June 2015

CMS WINDOW SYSTEMS joined forces with Glassolutions Saint-Gobain to deliver the second in its series of Technical Masterclass Seminars to around 30 social housing specifiers and maintenance personnel from across Scotland.

Delegates learned what makes a high quality sealed unit and how to deploy the latest glass types to meet challenges such as ‘zero carbon’ standards of thermal insulation, solar control to minimise overheating risk and enhanced noise insulation. The session concluded with an update on the emerging glass technologies which have the potential to transform homes and commercial buildings, with Saint-Gobain’s electronically tintable SageGlass® taking centre stage.

Andy Kerr, MD of CMS Window Systems said: “Bringing the technical knowledge of one of the world’s top glass manufacturers directly to our customers in this format is something we’re extremely pleased to be able to do.

“With such a high attendance at this latest masterclass, it is clear that housing specifiers, managers and maintenance personnel are keen to explore how to get the most out of today’s technically advanced glass products. We’ll be helping them implement these in the most effective way, using our window and door systems knowledge to deliver the best specifications to suit every application.”

Two further masterclasses will take place in the autumn on the topics of window and door systems and external wall insulation in conjunction with Sheerframe and Rockwool.
