This webinar will present the options available in large glass expanses and operable glass wall systems to help improve aesthetics and reduce water intrusion. The course will cover the different segments of the marketplace where these units can be used, the uses and benefits of each product, what to look for when specifying these types of products. In addition, this webinar will explore how specifying multi-slide operable doors railing systems can reduce water intrusion and the ROI for specifying and using them.

Learning Objectives:

1. List the general principles of designing with multi-slide and bi-fold types of operable glass wall systems.
2. Explain how multi-slide door systems can contribute to a water-resistant system for the building envelope when used with a zero-type track.
3. Discuss the basic technical issues as well as ratings and applicable codes that govern the use of multi-slide/fold fenestration systems.
4. Describe the benefits of reducing water intrusion and increasing aesthetic appeal by specifying tracks buried in the floor for large operable glass doors.
5. List certain features and options in these fenestration systems, such as hardware and glass type, that help address facility life-cycle and maintenance concerns.
