GLAZING REGULATIONS
THE LAW
NATIONAL BUILDING REGULATIONS SANS 10400:
Part N: Glazing
N 1 Type and Fixing of Glazing
(1)
Any material used in the glazing of any building shall
be of a secure and durable type and shall be fixed in a
manner and position that will ensure that it will:
(a) Safely sustain any wind actions which can reasonably
be expected;
(b) Not allow penetration of water to the interior of the
building; and
(c) Be apparent, in the case of clear glazing, to any person
approaching such glazing.
(2)
Glass, plastics and organic coated glass shall be selected
in order to provide, in the case of human impact, a degree
of safety appropriate in relation to:
(a) The position of the glazed area ; and
(b) The number and likely behaviour pattern of persons expected to be in close proximity to such glazed area.
(3)
The requirements of sub-regulations (1) and (2) shall be
deemed to be satisfied where the glazing material is
selected, fixed and marked in accordance with
SANS 10400-N.
SANS 10400-N: 2010 Edition 3
Glazing installations
(1) Glazing materials shall compromise either glass that
complies with the requirements of parts 1 to 5 of
SANS 50572, or polycarbonate sheeting.
(2)
Frames to receive glazing material shall either comply
with the requirements of SANS 727 or SANS 1553-2,
or capable of withstanding the wind and impact loads
determined in accordance with the requirements of
SANS 10400-B without deflecting more than 1/175th of
their span.
(3)
The thickness of panes of glass and flat solid
polycarbonate sheeting, other than in lifts, shall:
(a) Be no less than that given in tables 1 to 6, or
(b) Be determined by a Competent Person (glazing) in accordance with the requirements of SANS 10137, or
(c) Be based on wind loads determined in accordance with the requirements of SANS 10400-B.
NOTE: SANS 10400-B requires that wind loads be determined by a
Competent Person (structures).
(4)
The top and bottom of glass fins (see figure 1) installed
at butt joints of glass panes shall be fully fixed to the
supporting structure and have overall dimensions as
given in table 7. Silicone sealant that has a tensile
strength of at least 1 MPa shall be used.
NOTE: A butt is assumed to have no structural strength. Therefore
panels which incorporate a butt joint are not considered to be
supported on all sides. A glass fin is necessary to provide the support
at the joint so that the pane can be considered to be supported on
four sides or two opposite sides.
Permanent markings
on safety glazing materials
GLASS CODE 1 : HUMAN IMPACT
Types of glazing materials:
NS PVB laminate
HPR PVB laminate
Resin laminate
Toughened safety glass
Any other glazing materials complying with the requirements of
SANS 1263 Part I
GLASS CODE 2 : Burglary & Vandalism
Types of glazing materials:
HI PVB Laminate
Any other glazing materials complying with the requirements of
SANS 1263 Part III
GLASS CODE 3 : Armed Attack
Types of glazing materials:
Multi laminate bullet
Resisting glass of PVB and/or resin laminates
Any other glazing materials complying with the requirements of
SANS 1263 PART III
Toughened safety glass is permanently marked at the point of
manufacture and must include the glass code.
NOTE: Wired glass is not regarded as safety glazing material unless
it conforms to SANS 1263 Part 1.
Laminated Glass is marked by etching, engraving or sand blasting.
The mark consists of the glazer’s name or initials together with the
relevant glass code. The glass code must always be present and
visible.
GLAZING
REGULATIONS
Setting and location blocks
SANS 10400-N: 2010 EDITION 3
Before placing the glazing pane in the surround, where necessary
push setting blocks into position (when applicable, in the glazing
compound) on the rebate platform. With the exception of panes of
an area not exceeding 0,3 m2, rest the glazing pane on the setting
blocks to centralize it within the surround. Use blocks with a length
of 25mm to 75mm, except at the bottom bar of vertically pivoted
windows, where a single block with a length of at least 150mm is
sufficient. Use the location block in openable windows as well, to
prevent distortion of the frame. Setting and location blocks should
be of a material that is compatible with the glazing materials and
sealants used and should be of hardness 50º to 90º Shore A
duromete.
Table 1: Dimension for the vertical glass supported in a frame on all
sides in external walls in a building where the height measured from
the ground to the top of such wall does not exceed 10m.
NOTE: Timber and masonite setting blocks are unacceptable
as they are not compatible with glazing material. They are not of
suitable shore hardness; they rot and are eaten by insects.
Balustrades
The following are AAAMSA/SAGGA recommendations for the
applications of safety glazing material in balustrading. It is
mandatory that any balustrade design is confirmed through testing
or is structurally designed by a Competent Person, structural
engineer with the appropriate Professional Indemnity Insurance for
compliance with the structural requirements of SANS 10160.
A balustrade guarding the edge of any balcony, bridge, flat roof or
similar place more than 1m above the adjacent ground or floor level
shall be no less than 1m in height and shall not have an opening that
permits the passage of a 100mm diameter ball. These requirements
also apply to an interior balcony or any mezzanine floor (SANS
10400- Part D).
Balustrading guarding a swimming pool or swimming bath shall not
be less than 1,2m high measured from the ground level, and shall
not contain any opening which will permit the passage of a 100mm
diameter ball (SANS 10400-Part D)
SAGI
South African Glass Institute
Any deviation from tables 1 to 7 shall be approved in writing by a
Competent Person (Glazing). A special application of glass such
as, but not limited to, underwater viewing panels, glass floor, glass
balustrades, stair treads, frameless entrance and bolted assemblies
require the written approval of a Competent Person (Glazing). Such
written approval shall be included with the glazing certificate issued
to the building inspector for the relevant contract.

PRODUCT RANGE
LAMINATED SAFETY GLASS
PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) Laminated safety glass makes it
significantly more difficult for criminals to break through a shop
front. It also prevents a simple fall against a large window from
turning into a tragic accident. In addition to these well-proven
safety and security benefits, laminated safety glass blocks noise
and harmful UV radiation.
Sound control
The sound damping performance of the PVB makes laminated
glass an effective sound control product. Laminated glass is
commonly used in airports, museums, sound studios, and
schools to reduce unwanted noise from aeroplanes, heavy
machinery and traffic, to name a few.
Performance Ratings
Laminated glass is available in three performance variations:
Solar energy performance
Laminated glass offers unique combinations of clear or tinted
interlayers and solar heat reflecting coatings which can serve to
reduce the harsh effects of glare and solar radiation to create
comfortable conditions for the occupants of buildings.
1.) Normal Strength (NS) for human impact safety
(1 x 0.38mm PVB Interlayer)
2.) High Penetration Resistant (HPR) for additional security
(2 x 0.38mm PVB Interlayers)
3.) High Impact (HI) for security in high-risk applications
(4 x 0.38mm PVB Interlayers)
Security Resistance
Laminated glass is tested by repeatedly dropping a 225g steel
ball from a height of 9m. The impact of each drop is approximately
the same as a blow from a hammer. The table shows the number
of blows required to penetrate the glass.

24
NB: The size of the hole at penetration point is approximately
50mm in diameter. Many more blows are required to gain access.
The benefits of laminated Glass
Safety
The toughness and resilience of laminated glass makes it an
excellent safety glazing material. In vertical or sloped applications,
laminated glass can resist penetration from impact. If the glass is
broken, fragments will adhere to the PVB interlayer, reducing the
risk of personal injury and property damage.
Security
Laminated glass offers greater protection for people and
properties over other glass products. The standard two-ply
construction provides resistance to penetration when subjected
to attempted forced entry. In multiple configurations, laminated
glass can even resist bullets, heavy objects, or small explosions.
Ultraviolet screening
The ultraviolet (UV) filtering performance of the polyvinyl
butyral interlayer helps protect valuable furnishings, displays or
merchandise from the fading effects of UV radiation.
Natural and man-made disasters
Laminated glass can help provide protection from injury and
property damage from man-made or natural disasters. By
keeping the glass intact within the frame, laminated glass helps
reduce injuries from large shards of flying glass caused by, for
example hurricanes, earthquakes or other unusual loading on
the glass.

ColourVue™
(see page 22 for specification)
ColourVue™ laminated glass products are made from various
combinations of clear and tinted glasses and PVB interlayer.
ColourVue™ is available in a wide range of colours to meet a
variety of aesthetic, glare reduction and solar control demands.
Coloured and patterned interlayers can be used individually or
in various combinations to create colourful and distinctive glass
facades, partitions and interiors.
Because the patterns and colours are encapsulated between
layers of glass, ColourVue™ is easier to keep clean than
sandblasted glass, and it does not peel like applied vinyl.
ColourVue™ reduces damaging short-wave ultraviolet radiation
and offers additional safety, security and noise control benefits.
The lighter tints eliminate some solar energy and are intended
for use in glazing areas where safety, glare control and aesthetic
qualities are required. The deeper tints improve glare control and
provide a higher degree of solar heat elimination.
Edge Working
The edges of all heat absorbing glass exposed to heat radiation
should be polished to reduce the possibility of thermal breakage.
The edges must be free of damage such as vents and chips.
11
SolarVue™
(see page 23 for specification)
SolarVue™ provides medium solar control and a neutral, low
reflective appearance in a range of colours. A thin deposit of
nickel and chromium eliminates more than 55% of solar heat,
while transmitting more than 45% of visible light. SolarVue™ also
eliminates more than 99% of damaging UV radiation.
Suggested applications:
• Medium solar energy control
• Glare reduction in buildings
• Glazed partitions and screens
Standards and options
SolarVue™ is a PVB laminated safety glass marked to SABS
1263-1. SolarVue™ can be custom-manufactured to meet
various safety, security and noise reduction standards and
colour.
Coating densities
• High Light (HL)
• Extra High Light (XHL)
• Super High Light (SHL)
• Mega High Light (MHL)
• Ultra High Light (UHL)
Edge Working
The edges of all heat absorbing glass should be polished to
reduce the possibility of thermal breakage. The edges must be
free of damage such as vents and chips.
Environmental Influences
The visual appearance of coated glass is determined not only
by the colour of the glass and the coating. It is also influenced
by environmental factors such as the solar angle, ambient
light level and quality, reflections in the glass, and the viewing
angle. The nature of coated glass makes it imperative to assess
the true colour and reflectance of the proposed product in the
context of an existing building, failing which in a full-scale mockup, before a final selection is made. National Glass Distribution
architectural solutions specialists are available to assist with
project management and technical advice.
Coating: Glazing Guide
SolarVue™ is a sided product, meaning that its appearance will
vary when viewed from different sides. Care must be exercised
when cutting and glazing to ensure a uniform appearance. Stock
sheets are labelled by the factory to indicate the coated side.
SolarVue™ neutral is best installed with the coating towards the
sun. Tinted SolarVue™ products are normally glazed with the
tinted side facing the sun. If optimum light and solar control are
required, the coated side should be placed outside.

SolarShield®
(see page 25 for specification)
SolarShield® makes it possible to create attractive buildings
with highly efficient solar control. The combination of a metallic
coating and a clear or tinted PVB (polyvinyl butyral) interlayer
is designed primarily to keep out as much of the sun’s heat as
possible. In addition to reducing solar heat, SolarShield® also
limits the amount of light entering the interior and blocks up to
99% of damaging UV radiation. SolarShield® is a laminated
safety glass marked to SABS 1263-1.
It can be custom manufactured to meet various safety, security
and noise reduction standards. SolarShield® is available in a
range of colours and three densities of coating. The numbers
S10, S20, S30 refer to the light transmission of the coating, which
in turn is directly proportional to the amount of solar heat entering
the building. For example, S10 indicates 10% light transmission
on coated glass prior to lamination.
Suggested applications:
• Maximum solar energy control
• Curtain walls
• External solar screens
• Skylights
• Glare reduction in buildings
• Glazed partitions and screens
• One way vision panels
• Reflective glass for wall cladding
• Decorative safety mirrors
• Lift interiors

tinted side facing the sun. If optimum light and solar control are
required, the silver side should be placed outside. For one-way
vision, the tinted side must face the observer.
Edge Working
The edges of all heat absorbing glass should be polished to
reduce the possibility of thermal breakage. The edges must be
free of damage such as vents and chips.

E Range™
(see page 26 for specification)
E Range™ coated monolithic glass offers superior thermal
insulation in standard frames designed for single glazing.
E Range™ products reduce heating and air-conditioning costs
by keeping more heat in during winter and blocking it out during
summer.
Low E is a clear glass that maximises light transmission, while
Solar E has a denser coating that controls solar heat radiation
and glare. Both Low E and Solar E are available in laminated
and toughened forms. For the ultimate in insulating performance,
E Range™ panels can be used in double glazed units.
ColourVue™ E Range™
ColourVue™, especially the darker tints, generates a “radiator
effect” when the sun shines on the glass. ColourVue™ E Range™
eliminates this problem almost completely. The shading coefficient is better, with almost no reduction in light transmission.
Cleaning and Processing
The coated surface of the E Range™ highlights finger marks
and general dirt. The surface may also highlight any scratches,
which would be invisible on a normal glass surface. Please
contact National Glass Distribution for cleaning and processing
instructions. E Range™ is a sided product, meaning that its
appearance may vary when viewed from different sides. Care
must be exercised when cutting and glazing to ensure a uniform
appearance.
Edge Working
The edges of all E Range™ glass should be polished to reduce
the possibility of thermal breakage. Edges must be free of
damage such as vents and chips.

Acoustic Laminated Glass
Acoustic laminated safety glass is manufactured with a special
vinyl interlayer that offers better sound control than traditional
polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayers. The sound control rating of
glass is expressed as a weighted sound reduction index (Rw)
measured in decibels (dB). Conventional laminated glass with a
single normal strength (NS) vinyl interlayer is rated at 33dB.
A high penetration resistant (HPR) interlayer can improve the
rating to 34dB. Acoustic laminated with a 0.76 mm HPR interlayer
is rated at 38dB and provides a noticeable improvement in
sound reduction. Acoustic laminates also works better at lower
temperatures because the Acoustic interlayer retains its sound
reducing properties better than traditional PVB interlayers. In
addition to a better weighted sound reduction index, Acoustic
laminates offer superior dampening across the coincidence dip –
a frequency range in which glass of a specific thickness typically
becomes more transparent to sound waves.
To put the above values in context, one must bear in mind that
every 10dB difference in sound pressure level represents a
halving or doubling of the perceived noise. Therefore it can be
assumed that every db difference represents approximately 10%.
As 4mm float has an average STL of 29dB, it can be said that
6.76mm Acoustic Laminate is 7dB better i.e. 70%. 8.76mm
Acoustic Laminate would be 90% better than 4mm float.
It is important to remember that these acoustic values are very
dependent on the frequency of the noise source, and that low
frequency noise tends to be structure borne, and is extremely
difficult to insulate against. Examples of low frequency noise
would be jack hammers, exhaust brakes of trucks, bass music
etc. We also need to take into account that certain noise will
come through the actual frames of the doors and windows where
they close.
Applications
Acoustic laminates can be glazed into standard aluminium,
wooden or specialist frames to control noise from a variety of
sources, including aircraft, road traffic, music systems, public
events, schools and other busy institutions.
Options and sizes
Acoustic laminates are available with any of the coloured vinyl
interlayers and glasses in the ColourVue™ range. Acoustic
laminates can also be manufactured with any SolarVue™,
SolarShield or CoolVue® coated products.

CoolVue®
(see page 26 for specification)
CoolVue® glass meets the growing demand for natural day
lighting and building transparency, without the heat gain
associated with ordinary clear glass. CoolVue® can transmit
more than 70% of visible light while blocking more than 50% of
solar heat. CoolVue® clear or tinted glass offers similar levels
of heat reflection as SolarShield, but CoolVue® provides lower
visible reflectivity, which allows through vision by day and at
night. CoolVue® is manufactured by laminating a wavelengthselective heat-rejecting coating between two layers of PVB
(polyvinyl butyral) and glass. CoolVue® also reduces sound
transmission, increases safety and security, and filters up to
99.5% of damaging short-wave UV radiation.
Suggested applications:
• Solar energy control
• Retail display and ‘view’ windows
• External solar screen
• Industrial and roofing glazing
• Two-way visibility
• Curtain walls
• UV elimination
Edge Working
CoolVue® must be edge-sealed. Please contact National
Glass Distribution for sealing instructions. The edges of all heat
absorbing glass should be polished to reduce the possibility of
thermal breakage. The edges must be free of damage such as
vents and chips.
Environmental Influences
The visual appearance of coated glasses is determined not only
by the colour of the glass and the coating. It is also influenced
by environmental factors such as solar angle, ambient light level
and quality, reflections in the glass, and the viewing angle. The
nature of coated glass makes it imperative to assess the true
colour and reflectance of the proposed product in the context of
an existing building, failing which in a full-scale mock-up, before
a final selection is made. National Glass Distribution is available
to assist in this process.
Coating: Glazing Guide
CoolVue® is a sided product, meaning that its appearance
may vary when viewed from different sides. National Glass
Distribution laminates and double glazing are labelled by the
factory to indicate the coated side or the side that should face to
the outside. Care must be exercised when cutting or glazing to
achieve the desired performance and appearance. It is important
that the coated side be identified before cutting stock sheets.
CoolVue® must be edge sealed prior to glazing. CoolVue® must
only be installed with the coating towards the sun.
CoolVue® is manufactured by PFG Building Glass under licence
from Southwall Technologies, Palo Alto (California, USA).
CoolVue® is manufactured to the same standards as Southwall
Technologies California Series™ laminated glass, which
incorporates a high performance ‘heat rejecting’ Coating XIR®.

Double Glazed (IG) Units
Double Glazed Units are manufactured from two or more panes
of glass held apart by a spacer and bonded with a hermetic seal,
trapping dehydrated air between the glass panes. Their primary
function is to improve the thermal insulating properties of window
glazing, as well as contribute to safety, security and acoustics.
The appearance and performance of Double Glazed Units can be
modified by incorporating different glass types and thicknesses,
altering the width of the spacer bar or gas filling the cavity space.
Warm Edge Spacer
National Glass Distribution manufactures Double Glazed Glass
units using flexible spacer bars and promotes “Warm Edge
Technology”, which contributes to energy efficient buildings. The
flexible spacer follows the edge of the glass and is a complete
insulating glass spacer system which requires only one start and
finish joint. It does not allow heat loss transmission through the
spacer bar.
A Global Vision
Many countries are committed to reducing energy consumption.
Windows have been targeted as a major energy reduction
opportunity in residential and commercial buildings. Evidence
shows that the total amount of thermal emissions can be reduced
if Double Glazed windows are used. Double Glazed units are
destined to become a major trend for years to come.
Benefits and Functions of Double Glazed Units:
• Controlling heat and cold transfer through windows
• The reduction of sound transmission
• Increased wind loading resistance
• Minimizing the formation of condensation on glass
• Increasing safety and security

Coated Glazing Installation Guide:
SolarShield and SolarVue™ Laminated Safety
Glass
The coating is applied to surface 3. Therefore the coated side
sticker will be applied to surface 1, and hence the coated side is
glazed to the outside. The tinted colour is always glazed to the
outside.
Low E Monolithic and Laminated Safety Glass
The coated side of a Laminated Low E product should never be
on surface 2 or 3, as this affects the performance of the Low E
coating. The Low E coating should be on surface 2 for Monolithic
Glass and on surface 4 for Laminated Safety Glass, and hence
the coated side should always be glazed to the inside.
Monolithic Glass has 2 surfaces, with surface 1 being the external
surface and surface 2 being the internal surface i.e. Surface 1 to
is glazed to the outside
Laminated Safety Glass has 4 surfaces, with surface 1 being the
external surface, surface 2 & 3 are facing the vinyl, and surface
4 being the internal surface i.e. Surface 1 is glazed to the outside

TERMINOLOGY
VISIBLE LIGHT TRANSMISSION
This figure indicates the amount of light that passes through the
sample pane of glass.
For example, if the sample pane of glass has a Visible Light
Transmission performance figure of 32, it means that if the light
source is placed in front of the sample pane of glass, 32% of that
light will pass through that pane of glass.
VISIBLE LIGHT REFLECTION
This figure indicates the amount of light that is reflected away
from the surface of the sample pane of glass.
For example, if the sample pane of glass has a Visible Light
Reflection performance figure of 9, it means that of the 100%
of light that strikes the surface of the glass, 9% is reflected back
towards the light source. As a guide, clear glass has a Visible
Light Reflection performance figure of 8.
Selection: The lower the figure the better. Consideration must
be given to the effect of the light reflected from the glass into the
surrounding environment.
SOLAR ENERGY (HEAT)
Solar Energy (Heat) striking the surface of a pane of glass reacts in three ways: a portion is transmitted through the glass, a
portion is reflected away from the glass surface and a portion is
absorbed within the glass.
DIRECT SOLAR ENERGY (HEAT) TRANSMISSION
This figure indicates the amount of Solar Energy (Heat) that is
transmitted directly through the sample pane of glass.
For example, if the sample pane of glass has a direct Solar
Energy (Heat) Transmission performance figure of 29, it means
that of the 100% of solar energy (heat) that strikes the surface of
the pane of glass, 29% is transmitted directly through that pane
of glass.
Selection: The lower the figure, the better the performance
SOLAR ENERGY (HEAT) REFLECTANCE
This figure indicates the amount of Solar Energy (Heat) that is
reflected away from the surface of the sample pane of glass.
For example, if the glass has a Solar Energy (Heat) Reflectance
performance figure of 8, it means that of the 100% of Solar
Energy (Heat) striking the glass surface, 8% is reflected away
from that surface.
TOTAL SOLAR ENERGY (HEAT) TRANSMISSION
The amount of Solar Energy (Heat) absorbed within the sample
pane of glass is re-radiated out through both surfaces of the glass
pane. This figure indicates the amount of Direct and Re-radiated
Solar Energy (Heat) that is transmitted through the sample pane
of glass.
For example, if the sample pane of glass has a Total Solar
Energy (Heat) Transmission performance figure of 41, it means
that of the 100% of Solar Energy (Heat) that strikes the glass
surface, 41% is transmitted through the glass directly or through
re-radiation.
Selection: The lower the figure, the better the performance.
TOTAL SOLAR ENERGY (HEAT) ELIMINATION
This is a function of the Total Solar Energy (Heat) Transmission
performance figure referred to above.
For example, a Total Solar Energy (Heat) Transmission
performance figure of 41 will generate a Total Solar Energy
(Heat) Elimination performance figure of 59.
Selection: The higher the figure, the better the performance.
SHADING CO-EFFICIENT
This figure is a function of the Total Solar Energy (Heat)
transmitted through the sample pane of glass as compared to the
Total Solar Energy (Heat) transmitted through a 3mm thick pane
of clear glass which has a shading co-efficient of 1.00.
For example, if the sample pane of glass has a shading coefficient of 0.48, it means that the sample pane of glass allows
the transmission of 48% of the Total Solar Energy (Heat) that
would be transmitted through the 3mm thick pane of glass.
Selection: The lower the figure, the better the performance.
U-VALUE
This figure indicates the amount of energy (measured in Watts)
that is lost through 1m² of the sample pane of glass for every
degree of temperature difference between the outside and the
inside ambient air.
Selection: The lower the figure, the better the performance.
ULTRA VIOLET ELIMINATION
Is the amount of Ultra Violet either absorbed or reflected by the
glass.
For example, the UV Elimination on 6mm Clear Float would be
± 17% opposed to > 95% on the 6.38mm Clear PVB Laminated
Safety Glass.
Selection: The higher the figure, the better the performance.
