Facade : Front or face of the building. Faceted Glazing : Flat panes of glass installed vertically at an angle to each other, to form a faceted curve. Fin : A piece of glass positioned and fastened to provide lateral support. Fire resistant : It means the time during which a fire resistant material i. The fire resistance test of structures shall be done in accordance with IS Fire Resistance Test of Structure. Fire Separation : It means the distance in metre measured from any other building on the site or from another site or from the opposite side of a street or other public space to the building.

Flat Glass : A general term covering sheet glass, float glass and various forms of rolled and plate glass.

Front Putty : The compound forming a triangular fillet between the surface of the glass and the front edge of the rebate.

Fully framed glazing : Panels that have all edges framed. Glass : An inorganic, non-metallic material produced by the complete fusion of raw materials at high temperatures, into a homogeneous liquid, which is then cooled to a rigid, condition essentially without crystallization.

Glazing : The securing of glass in prepared openings in windows, door panels, partitions and the like. Guarding : Glass used to prevent people falling wherever there is a change in floor level by means of a permanent barrier. The glass can break spontaneously and without provocation due to possible impurity of Nickel Sulphide in basic glass used for tempering.

This risk of spontaneous breakage can be minimised by heat soaking process by forcing such glasses to break in the factory itself. Heat Strengthened Glass : Glass which has been heated past its softening point and chilled rapidly to increase its strength and make it thermally safe, but which breaks like annealed glass.

Heat Strengthened : Laminated Safety Glass utilizing two or more panels of heat-strengthened glass in the Laminated Safety Glass make up. High Activity Area : Where multiple human activity takes place. High Risk Area : Area prone to human injury. Insulating Glass Unit : The standard configuration for residential and commercial windows consisting of a IGU sealed unit of two panes of glass separated by a metal spacer. Internal Partition : An interior dividing wall or such portion of an interior dividing wall that is not a door, side panel, shopfront or atrium wall.

Laminated Glass : A composite material consisting of two or more sheets of glass permanently bonded together by a plastic interlayer material. Laminated Safety Glass : Laminated glass that satisfies the requirements for a safety glazing material according to this guide. Maximum Thickness : The thickness of a panel of glass at the maximum thickness tolerance. Minimum Thickness : The thickness of a panel of glass at the minimum thickness tolerance.

Mirror : A piece of glass silvered on one side, with a protective paint coating. Nominal Thickness : A numeric designation used for reference purposes that indicates the approximate thickness of glass. Non-combustible : It means not liable to burn to add heat to a fire when tested for combustibility in accordance with the IS, Method of Test for Combustibility of Building Materials. Non-residential Buildings : Buildings other than those defined above such as hotels, hostels, motels, shops, offices, schools, public assembly buildings, and factories and those parts of the residential buildings common to a group of dwellings such as common circulation areas in blocks of two or more flats.

Reflective Coated Glass : Glass with metallic or metallic oxide coating applied onto or into the glass surface to provide reduction of solar radiant energy, conductive heat energy and visible light transmission. Residential Buildings : Buildings and such portions of buildings used as separate dwelling houses and flats, but not incorporating common circulation areas in blocks of two or more flats.

Residual protection : It is the protection provided to avoid the impact of human being to glass. It is provided on the side of glass where there are chances of Human impact. It can be achieved by providing a sill structure or a grill inside.

Span : The dimension between supports. For panels supported on all four edges, it corresponds to the smaller of the sight size dimensions. Spandrel : That portion of the exterior wall of a multistory commercial building that covers the area below the sill of the vision glass installation.

Tempered or Toughened : When float glass panels are heated and then cooled rapidly in a controlled Glass environment. Tinted Glass : Normal float glass to which colorants are added during manufacturing process to achieve tinting and solar radiation absorption properties. Transom : Horizontal bar of wood, aluminium or stone etc. Toughened laminated : Laminated safety glass utilizing two panels of toughened safety glass in the make up.

Wardrobe doors : Doors that provide access to built in storage areas, excluding those fitted to pieces of furniture that are not built into the building. Wind Load : Load on glass because of the speed and direction of wind. Four meetings of Steering Committee, two in Delhi, and one each in Mumbai and Bangalore were organized.
