SWISSPACER: “We offer a high-end solution with specially coated glass in our rooflights, so it’s important the movement of the blind inside the glazing does not compromise the finish.

Letter to the editor: Are you glazing your heritage units correctly?
Dear Ian
As someone with over 30 years of experience manufacturing sealed units, I can't think of another time where the heritage sector has been so firmly in the industry spotlight. Whether it's best practice, compliance or consolidation, there are a multitude of issues which have ultimately got the industry talking.
I fear though, we could be facing another potential issue, with a number of reported unit failures recently due to glazing methods not being followed. In this case, it involves compatibility issues between the paint used and the glazing method chosen, as well as painting heritage units before the putty compound has cured effectively. Either way, this is undoubtedly one of the biggest causes of unit failure, yet it is so easily avoidable. ...more
Yours sincerely,
Andy Cocker, Director, Slenderline Glass (part of the EJ Cocker Group)
