The increase in potential threats to a building, its glazing, and its occupants is on the rise. Demand for heightened security and safety against these threats has enabled the glass and glazing industry to bring many innovations to market. This course will provide an introduction to three primary threats to glazing in buildings, and outline design considerations and performance characteristics of various protective glazing products.
