AGC - the largest manufacturer of glass for architectural and construction applications - has presented an updated version of the tool for calculating the configuration of glazing - Glass Configurator.

A completely new feature has been added to the existing version of the free online AGC Glass Configurator - Glass Thickness Calculator.

The new and improved calculation tool has been specifically designed for structural analysis of façade glazing, roof glazing and internal glass partitions in accordance with EN 16612 and ASTM standards. The glass thickness calculator developed by Maffeis Engineering, a façade design company, can

can be used to calculate rectangular structures with all relevant loads and four load combination methods. Thanks to the Glass Thickness Calculator, you can check the strength of the glazing, calculate the stress and deflection in a matter of minutes. The new tool is only available in AGC Glass Configurator.

Glass Configurator allows you to create configurations with single glazing, single or double glazing, as well as laminated safety glass. The tool has long established itself and is actively used by experts in the field of glass processing, facades, window production, as well as architects and designers to calculate the characteristics of light transmission, energy saving and safety of translucent structures.
