Description
Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona. This course includes the following components:
- recording of the live session
- a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions
- two surveys required to claim continuing education credit
Description
This case study examines a situation where project stakeholders agreed the images reflected on the glass surface of over 250 newly installed IGUs were egregiously distorted and considered unacceptable. Upon completion of the forensic investigation, it was confirmed that the issue was the result of a vertical distortion streak on the outboard lites.
Distortion of architectural glass is inherent to the heat-treating process. However, the vertical distortion streak discussed in this presentation could not be identified using traditional means for glass evaluation. Different methods for evaluating glass distortion will be discussed in this presentation.
Professionals working on monumental projects requiring high-quality architectural glass will find this presentation and case study of particular interest.
