Installing Glass in the Door End

INSTALLATION

• Install the bottom row first. After setting the glass in place,

attach the Glass Caps (see sketch for length).

• The second row and each succeeding row has the same size

glass (as per sketch) but they overlap the previous row by 1/2"
and are held in place by an Alum Cap (see Side Glazing).

• Do not caulk the bottom where the glass rests on the base.

This allows for any condensation to seep out.

• The glass beside the door is pushed into the door frame. The

second row of glass sits on a plastic “ ” Came.

• Installing the Back Gable End Glass is the same as the front.

Note:

Do not be

afraid to adjust
the frame to
make it square 
with the glass.
