Window Glass Design 2004 performs all required calculations to design window glass according to ASTM E 1300-02/03/04. This software also performs window glass design using ASTM E 1300-98/00 and ASTM E 1300-94.  The Glass Association of North America (GANA) endorses the Window Glass Design 2004 Program as being the best tool available to aid in designing window glass to resist wind and long-term loadings.  Members of the GANA technical council served in program development and each now uses a copy of the program.

Window Glass Design 2004 now gives the user the flexibility to buy different editions of the program to meet their needs. The below table describes the three different editions of the NEW Window Glass Design 2004 program. Click on a feature below to view its details.

Window Glass Design 2004 help manual

The Window Glass Design 2004 manual is in Adobe PDF format.  The full color manual provides information on the Window Glass Design 2004 program options and their usage.  Terms and definitions are also provided within as well as example inputs and outputs for each input window option (ASTM Compliant, Advanced and Multiple Glazing Input).  This manual covers information for the Basic, Standard and Deluxe program versions; some information within the manual may not apply to your program.

When the designer achieves an optimum window glass design configuration, the program prints a report consistent with the requirements of ASTM E1300-94/98/00/02/03 suitable for presentation to a building official. In addition the program prints a details report which includes a dimensioned sketch of the glass unit and the factors used to calculate the load resistance.
