Elite 4'3" wide compact, Instructions & Illustations

Page: 26 / 28

FULL SHEET TOUGHENED GLASS (EN12150
).
If you have purchased bar capping as an optional extra, see separate instructions with the capping
for fitting instructions.
The main differences in application between the two types of glazing are:
1. Toughened glass is in large sheets.
2. 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 if you have multi
-sheet (or small pane) toughened glass.
3. See the diagram for the position of the different sizes.
4. The glass is clipped onto the frame in the same way as the horticultural glass is, but use 8
clips per large pane.
5. Put the P.V.C. overlap piece (muntin) on top of the lower pane making sure you have differ-
entiated 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.
Muntins will be found in the packets of cut size glass (where appropriate).
The quantities will change slightly if you have ordered extra vents and louvres.
If you intend to fit a louvre to the greenhouse you must fit glass above and be-
low the louvre. The louvre cannot fit onto the bottom aluminium cill.
(Key Point).
Louvre Rear Fitting
Replace pane ‘9’ with 1 piece 610 x 140 (found in louvre box with louvre frame), the louvre and
then 1 ref 18.
Louvre Side Fitting
Replace pane ‘23’ with 1 piece 610 x 399 (packed with glass shapes), the louvre and then pane ref
‘18’.
Elite will automatically assume that you wish to fit the louvre in the rear gable unless you have
specified differently at the time of order.
