Legal Requirements for Glass Manifestations
Please see the below link for legislative requirements for glass manifestations this has been taken from the Building Regulations 2000. (Download PDF).
Below is a simplified guide that will explain this document:
This is a simplified version of the legislative rules, and how you can comply with them. The blue bands on the diagram below represent the bands described in the PDF M1/M2 whilst the dimensions on the left hand sided give the recommended heights from floor level, up to the centre of the manifestation design.
The diagram shows a 50 mm Range at two levels on the window.
If you alternatively opt for a custom manifestation you can create a vinyl logo or other none continuous design, this must be at least 150mm in height, and at the two levels shown on the diagram so that to comply with regulations.
Larger custom designs may also be used, and are only needed at one level this is provided it crosses into both of the blue bands. We would recommend a minimum height of 500 mm for the design, and that the design be applied 1200mm above floor level to centre line.
