Häfele CPD Seminar On Frameless Glass Fittings

A new CPD seminar presentation entitled Frameless Glass Fittings for Doors, Screens and Canopies from the Architectural Ironmongery Division of Häfele has now been approved by the RIBA, Product Manager Gary King reports.

“The aim of the presentation,” he said, “is to highlight the specialist application differences between laminated and toughened glass for frameless use in conjunction with doors, screens and canopies. There are safety and practicality issues in their use that also need to be explained.”

The hardware systems portfolio now available from a range of Häfele suppliers across mainland Europe meets the growing range of application needs that the current vogue for glass is introducing.

Running gear can now be supplied in bespoke kit form to specifier drawings or supplied, installed and commissioned by the nationwide network of Häfele Glass Partners. Frameless Glass Fittings for Doors, Screens and Canopies is designed to inform architects, interior designers and construction specialists on the suitability of individual hardware systems and glass combinations for use across the building spectrum.

The scope of systems designed for residential, corporate, commercial and public access buildings is expanding year on year, says Gary King. The new CPD presentation, which features existing installations by way of example, takes between 45 and 60 minutes and can be delivered by Häfele personnel at customer offices throughout the UK.
