Considering bullet-resistant barriers? It’s important to understand the right questions to ask for your project: • Appropriate level of bullet-resistance needed • Recommended glazing type • Frame options • Available hardware and finishes • Shipping and installation times You’ll find this info and even more guidance on this helpful checklist! https://lnkd.in/gU33jmiX

Weep holes in glazing assemblies are only effective if placed properly - the last thing we want is to introduce more water than the system can handle… Execution can be tricky - there are no plain hard rules to follow - every system works slightly differently. Designs can be validated through testing - a helpful exercise can be to remove the glazing bead to monitor any residual water. Ultimately, water may come in, but how is it them managed to get out?

True. It is indeed accurate that positioning the weep holes in a staggered arrangement is a more effective method to prevent water ingress. When weep holes are aligned on the same plane, the resulting suction pressure may lead to a bubbling effect, which can facilitate water intrusion. Additionally, factors such as the profile depth in relation to wind pressure also play a significant role in the efficiency of the drainage system. I would appreciate hearing thoughts from others on this matter #facade #fenestration #windows #slidingdoor #waterleakage

There are a lot of opportunities out there, particularly if you’re a fabricator. Did you know that there are several routes to market? Direct to the homeowner ➡️ Direct to housebuilders ➡️ Direct to tradespeople ➡️ Direct to the commercial sector ➡️ But how do you differentiate yourself? Firstly, by offering a great, reliable service. Secondly, by remaining communicative and honest. And thirdly, by having a vast and diverse doors and windows product range that outshines your competitors. Psst – we can help with the latter… 💫 #Fabricators #DoorsandWindows #UKTrades #teamEWS

The heads on those items are critical in doing the project right the first time in safety 🦺 I’m sure you have covered this with your team. In the world of threaded fasteners, screws are some of the simplest yet most essential components in use. Offering the basic function of being driven into mating surfaces to form a secure attachment, these affordable fasteners are heavily used in just about any industry – from agriculture to construction to precision food and medical machinery – as reliable connectors. Their versatility is even more expanded by the interchangeability of two specific characteristics: screw head and drive types. Screw heads and drives come in a wide range of styles, most of which can be combined with each other to offer unique benefits like flush finishes, stronger holds, tamper resistance, and better load distribution.

Less is more. Another week, another “installation hack”. Sequential fittings installation may be done out of part availability or convenience. Short term. Long term, reliability and efficiency may be compromised. Here's why using a single size-reducing fitting is better than multiple one-touch fittings: 🔺 Leak risk: more fittings mean more chances for leaks. 🔺 Space issues: sequential fittings make installations bulkier and harder to maintain. 🔺 Stability: more joints increase the risk of connections loosening over time. 🔺 Complexity: a single fitting simplifies assembly and reduces failure potential. Opt for a single size-reducing fitting for a more efficient and reliable system 🦾 PS: if it’s not possible to reduce size at the source, use larger tube and single size reducing fitting at the end use.
