Before starting installation, Glazing Vision advises that the physical upstand dimensions are cross-checked with those given
for the order, to ensure the product will fit. The upstand will need to be within ± 10 mm of the ordered size. The top surface
of the upstand should be flat without undulations greater than ± 2 mm. Also check the diagonals to ensure that the upstand
has been constructed square. The upstand must be weathered as per the sales drawings. If using any metallic
waterproofing material, this cannot be applied across the top surface of the upstand as this will cause a thermal bridge
which can lead to internal condensation and invalidate the product warranty.

These products can be very heavy. Glazing Vision strongly recommends that a structural engineer is consulted when
designing the structure(s) that will support the product and the surrounding structure. Nothing in this manual or on Glazing
Vision’s sales drawings
constitutes a structural proposal.
7.
Glazing Vision strongly recommends that
a ‘dry run’ (without any silicone)
is completed before committing to the final
installation.
