As part of its commitment to supporting architects and specifiers with their professional development, George Barnsdale is pleased to announce the date of its upcoming CPD webinar, ‘Glazing in Heritage Buildings: Balancing Performance, Conservation and Compliance’, which will take place on Wednesday 7th October at 11am.

The specification of glazing in heritage and historic buildings requires architects to balance conservation principles with modern performance expectations. This CPD will explore the glazing options available for traditional and heritage properties, as well as examine their suitability in different project contexts, to help attendees gain an understanding of how glazing selection can influence performance whilst considering planning and conservation requirements.

As well as the above, the session aims to cover the following:

  • The characteristics, benefits and limitations of different glazing options used in heritage buildings. 
  • The impact of glazing selection on thermal, acoustic and visual performance. 
  • The opportunities and constraints associated with conservation and planning requirements. 
  • Best practice principles to specify glazing solutions that balance heritage significance and building performance. 

Steve Dixon, Technical Sales Director at George Barnsdale, will be hosting the company’s latest webinar and will guide the session to focus on the unique requirements of specifying glazing in heritage buildings, all whilst remaining compliant.

Specifying glazing for heritage buildings requires careful consideration of performance, conservation and compliance. Through this webinar, we aim to give architects and specifiers a clearer understanding of the available options and the role glazing can play in achieving the right balance for each project.

There will be an opportunity at the end of the webinar for participants to ask questions in our Q&A session.
