GLAZING THE STRUCTURE
Always handle glass with extreme care as failure to do so can result in injury
HORTICULTURAL AND MULTI-SHEET TOUGHENED
GLASS
1. Starting with the bottom pane of one side, offer the pane to the glazing bars. Hold it in place by
inserting two of the stainless steel clips six inches from the bottom of the glass. Fit the curved
lip under the glazing bar and then rotate it so that the other lip clips over the edge of the glass.
(Key point).
2. Secure the glass by inserting another two clips in the same way half an inch from the top edge
of the glass. N.B. The side panels will require a larger overlap of approx. ¾” (20mm)
3. Hook one overlap clip on the middle of the pane of glass.
(Key point).
4. Offer the next pane of glass to the glazing bars, resting it
on the two clips of the bottom pane. Insert two clips to
hold it six inches from the bottom of the pane. Bend the
middle overlap clip upwards to support the glass. Secure
the pane by inserting another two clips ½” inch from the
top of the pane. Then put 1 overlap clip in the middle. Put the top pane of glass under the gutter,
and then rest it on the 2 clips at the top of the middle pane. Now put 2 clips approx 6” up from
the bottom of the final piece of glass and 2 clips 4” from the top
5. Repeat this all along this side of the house,, then repeat it for the roof of this side (remembering
that there are only 2 panes of glass in each roof section and only 1 overlap clip, but note that
you have to use two of the stainless steel wire clips on the sides of the panes nearest to the roof
vent so that the vent will close correctly. (See illustration for the correct way to fit these).
(Key
point).
6. Repeat the glazing procedure on the other side of the house.
7. Following this, glaze the rear end in a similar fashion.
8. Proceed to the door end and glaze that, but use wire clips on the left
hand edges of the panes to the right hand side of the door opening,
so that the door slides open correctly.
(Key point).
9. Finally, glaze the door.
