Go to Human Impact Safety Section

This section details what kind of glass must be installed in certain locations. 

Glass can be very hazardous if not used properly. There are lots of ways to make glass safe, and these pages step you through the selection process in accordance with the New Zealand Standards NZS4223.

Go to Double Glazing Section

A double glazed window consists of two panes of glass, bonded to a spacer and separated by a sealed air space.

Because this space is fully sealed it acts as an insulator, keeping your home at a comfortable temperature in all weathers.
