Knowledge about the fundamentals of adhesion technology and about the loads that will actually be acting in practice is crucial in order to be able to carry out reliable project planning and testing.

What causes structural glass failure? In this month's blog post, I look at the properties and behaviour of glass. 

This article provides an overview of adhesive technology and the key properties of adhesive tapes typically used in construction.

There are mainly three types of glass; annealed glass, heat-strengthened glass and toughened glass. Here's a look at how we can expect each to perform. 

The new aquatic centre was the pride of the council — a shimmering new facility that was meant to keep active people healthy and provide a safe place for kids. But the new council owners noticed odd things about the building as soon as they turned the systems on.

We hear about better building performance through air tightness all the time. You’ve probably heard you can test for it with a blower door. But if that’s what you want, how do you get it? Here’s some guidance on how to specify for air tightness and a test to prove it. 

When it comes to designing suspended ceilings to withstand seismic loads, there are a number of solutions to consider.

This month we look at 'airtight' vs 'breathable' building. Is it possible to achieve both within the same build? 

The use of energy-efficient glass delivers a more comfortable building interior and helps reduce energy costs across the service life of the building. 

We are often asked whether waterproofing membranes function as vapour barriers. The answer to this question is not as straightforward as with other waterproofing membranes.
