HORTICULTURAL GLAZING
Always handle glass with extreme care as failure to do so can result in injury.
Start with the bottom pane of glass on the side, ref A (610 x 610mm) (24” x
24”). Insert 4 stainless steel clips as illustrated, 2 on either side of the pane.
The upper 2 clips approx. ½” (13mm) from the top edge of the glass, the bot-
tom 2 approx. 8” (200mm) from the bottom edge of the glass. Put one overlap
clip on the upper edge of the low pane of glass with the long “tail” outside and
the short return inside.
Offer the next pane of glass ref. B (610 x 457mm) (24” x 18”) to the panel, sitting the pane of
glass onto the 2 upper clips of the panel below. Exerting a little pressure on the upper B pane with
one hand, bend up the tail of the over-
lap clip to form a hook or letter
“S” (see diagram).
Put 2 clips on each side of the pane of
glass, the upper 2 clips ½” (13mm) from the top of the pane B. The bot-
tom 2 clips 8” (200mm) from the bottom of the pane, i.e. from the over-
lap.
Repeat this procedure for the upper pane of glass ref. B and for the rest of
the greenhouse glazing application, referring to glazing chart for the pre-
cise location of each pane of glass.
N.B. The 13mm overlap may need to be slightly more or less depending
on the tolerance of the glass.
N.B. There are a small number of wire clips which you use behind the
door and under the vents instead of the band clips.
