FULL SHEET TOUGHENED GLASS (EN12150)
The main differences in application between the two types of glazing are:
Toughened glass is in large sheets.
There are no overlaps: where there are two or more panes in a section they
are butt jointed with a P.V.C overlap strip – (called a muntin) –
you do not
use muntins or spacers if you have multi-sheet (or small pane) tough-
ened glass.
See the diagram for the position of the different sizes.
The glass is clipped onto the frame in the same way as the horticultural glass is, but use 8 clips per
large pane.
Put the P.V.C overlap piece on top of the lower pane making sure you have differentiated between
the inside and outside of the P.V.C (see diagram below). The next pane sits on top of the overlap
and is clipped in as normal.
