TOUGHENED GLASS
Always handle glass with extreme care as failure to do so can result in injury.
Your greenhouse is supplied with PVC bar capping and you will find the bar capping installation
instructions with the bundle of capping.
Your greenhouse is glazed using both wire clips and then bar capping on top.
Wire Clips
Start with the panes of glass on the side (see glazing plan later in this booklet),
Insert 4 wire clips as illustrated, put one ’wing’ of the clip under the ridge at the
front of the bar, then insert the two shoulders just behind the edge of the glass.
The other ’wing’ of the clip, which is not yet engaged in the bar can now be
pushed downwards until it clicks into and under the ridge on the front of the glaz-
ing bar. 2 on either side of the pane approx. 100mm from the bottom and the top.
The upper 2 clips approx. ½” (13mm) from the top edge of the glass. Now insert the intermediate
clips so as to have 8 clips per large pane.
Bar Capping should be fitted ‘ as you go along’. You need access to the
top of each roof cap to screw into position, so you will need to poke
your head up in the next bay along to enable safe fixing.
With single sheet toughened glass the traditional overlap system used
with the horticultural glass is replaced by a rigid P.V.C muntin. Mun-
tins are only used where 2 pieces of glass butt together. Position the
muntin on top of the lower pane of glass taking care to have the inside
and outside as indicated. Put the next pane on top of the muntin (into
the rebate) and clip the glass in, as previously described. There are
enough stainless steel clips in your kit for 8 clips per large pane of
toughened glass over 1.2m.
GLASS SPACER
The roof glass is fitted by utilising a PVC roof spacer as illustrated.
Place the vent spacer onto the top of the roof pane (thus increasing the overall length of the glass).
N.B. The spacer can increase the glass size by 9mm or 11mm depending which way round you fit
it. It is designed this way to allow for the glass/alloy tolerances. Offer the glass to the glazing bars
pushing it upwards towards the ridge. In order to fit the spacer end of the glass under the beading
in the ridge, you need to lift the glass up from the bottom whilst simultaneously pushing upwards
until the spacer is firmly ‘inside’ and touching the ridge.
