Architectural Glazing Leak Testing & Remedial Planning

ARCHITECTURAL GLAZING CONSULTANCY

As a company, we are not just here to sell our products and materials. Even though these areas are inherently where the ‘easier’ finances are made. We believe it important that an architectural glazing contractor should be willing to share its experience for the general benefit of the trade.

We are therefore willing to assist at any level and where site investigations and general consultancy are required; we will subcontract our technical capacity accordingly.

The team at Glazing Innovations pride ourselves on our technical understanding of architectural glazing, the breakage characteristics of glass, weep water management and suitable remedial planning. We are often asked to provide a full consultancy report accordingly.

Glazing Innovations offer tailored consultancy packages, however find that our services are required more frequently on:-

Site Investigations and Reporting

Glazing Innovations are sometimes asked to investigate old deteriorated structures and sometimes inherent problems with modern day installations.

Advanced Planning Consultancy

As a company we understand the complications experienced by our clients and a contracts team in obtaining technical advice prior to order placement and during a contracts programming/feasibility study.

Glazing Innovations provide general technical advice free of charge and are often asked to evaluate the technical and cost feasibility of a design.

Our company is also capable of preparing pre contract schematic drawings and glazing related tender documentation. Whilst we typically aim to be rewarded the works, we are not averse to acting as glazing consultants on a contract (sourcing, nominating and overseeing a competitors works accordingly).

Leak Testing & Remedial Planning

Generally system seals, gaskets and hardware are the initial components to begin to fail within any system, either through age or environmental deterioration.

Should you experience any evidence of failing system components you should seek immediate advice. By ignoring the deterioration of any of components, leak damage or even structure failure could follow.

Carrying out leak testing is often not as simple as it may sound, The application of water should be strategically planned in conjunction with volume and duration. In addition and whilst considering the source of the leak, additional considerations such as capillary forces should not be ignored.

Leak testing of Architectural Glazing and subsequent remedial planning are often requirements for older or poorly designed/installed glass structures. Glazing Innovations are capable of providing a full leak test and site report on most architectural glass structures.
