Laminating Workshop: Past, Present and Future of Laminated Glass Qualification

Recent changes to the Safety Glazing Certification Council laminated glass certification requirements will lead to an evolution in the nomenclature and shorthand used for describing and specifying laminated glass units. Join us on a journey to explore a brief history of laminated glass, interpret the new SGCC qualification requirements (including the shift to the metric system), participate in an inquiry session with access to SGCC experts, and gain a brief overview of common yet contemporary laminated glass applications and how they relate to safety glazing. Join us and have a beer with a laminating peer! 

The Workshop is limited to 50 participants; registration is complimentary, but required. 

Sponsored by Saflex from Eastman.
