The Joinery Industry Training Organisation has been working with the Glass Association of New Zealand (GANZ) to prepare some typical timber glazing details for single and double glazing into timber joinery. The details are in line with the recently updated NZS 4223 Glazing standards set and AS/NZS 4666:2000 Insulating glass units. A list of suitable glazing materials for each method is currently being prepared by GANZ.

These details will provide updated glazing details for glaziers and be used to revise the joinery textbooks for apprentice training. The IGU glazing details will also be used in Insulating Glass Unit Manufacturers Association publications.

In the future, these details may be used by Master Joiners to test timber windows to NZS 4211 Specification for performance of windows for compliance with the Building Code.
