PGC International Announces July Webinar on Tornado Protection
July 1, 2009

The Protective Glazing Council (PGC) International announced the next in a monthly free webinar series for architects, building owners, specifiers, glazing contractors and others in the architectural community.

Scheduled for the last Friday of each month, the next webinar will be given by Valerie Block, senior marketing specialist for DuPont Glass Laminating Solutions. Block, who brings more than 25 years of experience in the glass industry, will discuss impact protection for homes and buildings in tornado-prone areas. Tornado-prone areas face unique threats associated with these severe storm events. High wind shelters offer homeowners a means of personal protection and impact resistant glazing helps to mitigate the potential damage from flying debris. The benefits associated with impact resistant glazing can also protect commercial buildings from windborne damage.

"Block is considered a true expert in the glass industry," said Brian Pitman, director of marketing and communications for the organization. "Her presentation will provide great insight into protections that many in the country should strongly consider."

Block's presentation begins at noon EDT, July 31.
