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 glazing 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 fix-
ing. 

 

With  single  sheet  toughened  glass  the  traditional  overlap  system  used 
with the horticultural glass is replaced by a rigid P.V.C muntin. Muntins 
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 out-
side 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.
