Technical Guidance Notes

Industry Guidance

Comprehensive guidance on design and installation of composite metal floor and structural roof deck, the TGN provides information from start to finish of a contract journey.

The TGN is aimed to aid our clients and engineers when undertaking work prior to specification, design or scintillation of products on site, to ensure best practice is adhered too and issues are restricted to the minimum.
