While a properly locked door may be at the forefront of the conversations surrounding school safety solutions, glass plays a significant role in the foundations of security.
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 episode highlights include:
Building codes and standards outlining the appropriate glass products for school safety and security
Technology-based evolutions to commonly used solutions
The importance of collaboration between the glass industry, architects, administrators, and first responders to make informed decisions about school security measures
