Though it may seem intuitive, not all applications demand the same type of glass. In this episode, Devin Bowman of Technical Glass Products (TGP) and AD Systems covers different types of glass used in schools, including annealed, tempered, wired, laminated, and acrylic. Tempered and laminated glass are more commonly used in schools today.
More discussions include building codes and standards outlining the appropriate glass products for school safety and security, technology-based evolutions to commonly used solutions, and the importance of collaboration between the glass industry, architects, administrators, and first responders to make informed decisions about school security measures.
