title: Getting window specification right.
abstract: Susan Duffy, a director of commercial glazing specialist, Fendor, draws on the company's many years' experience in supplying window solutions for applications ranging from schools to high secure mental healthcare facilities to provide useful guidance on specifying the optimal glazing solution, with a particular focus on what specifiers in the mental healthcare sector should be seeking in terms of design, glass type, strength, robustness, damage resistance, and anti-ligature features. All too often, she cautions, a lack of sufficient technical guidance for estates teams faced with a myriad of responsibilities can see the 'wrong' type of window selected, with potentially fatal consequencies.
