National Building Specification is published by NBS Services.

It is a carefully developed and detailed specification for architectural projects, and is used, extensively, throughout the UK architectural profession.

Within NBS the section which embraces Synthatec is section Z31.

All aspects of the coating specification are detailed and the Z31 section may be applied to any other section of NBS which embraces metal components (e.g. H10 Patent Glazing, H11 Curtain Walling, etc.)

A further development which now includes Synthatec is NBS electronic versions 'Specification Writer' and 'Specification Manager' where, within the 'NBS Plus' library, Synthatec specification clauses may be 'dragged and dropped'

Synthatec is incorporated in all the following component specifications:-

  • H10 - Patent Glazing
  • H11 - Curtain Walling
  • H13 - Structural Glass Assemblies
  • L10 - Windows/Rooflights/Screens/Louvres
  • L20 - Doors/Shutters/Hatches
