GLAZING THE STRUCTURE 

 

Always handle glass with extreme care as failure to do so can result in injury.

 

 

HORTICULTURAL AND MULTI-SHEET TOUGHENED 

GLASS 

 

1.  Starting with the bottom pane of one side, offer the pane to the glazing bars. Hold it in place by 

inserting two of the stainless steel clips six inches from the bottom of the glass. Fit the curved 
lip under the glazing bar and then rotate it so that the other lip clips over the edge of the glass. 

(Key Point).

 

2.  Secure the glass by inserting another two clips in the same way half an inch from the top edge 

of the glass. 

N.B. The side panels will require a larger overlap of approx. ¾” (20mm). 

 

3.  Hook one overlap clip on the middle of the pane of glass. 

(Key Point). 

 

 

 

4.  Offer the next pane of glass to the glazing bars, resting it 

on the two clips of the  bottom  pane.  Insert two  clips to 
hold it six inches from the bottom of the pane. Bend the 
middle overlap clip upwards to support the glass. Secure 
the pane by inserting another two clips ½” inch from the top of the pane. Then put 1 overlap clip 
in the middle. Put the top pane of glass under the gutter, and then rest it on the 2 clips at the top 
of the middle pane. Now put 2 clips approx. 6” up from the bottom of the final piece of glass 
and 2 clips 4” from the top.

 

 

5.  Repeat this all along this side of the house, then repeat it for the roof of this side (remembering 

that there are only 2 panes of glass in each roof section and only 1 overlap clip, but note that 
you have to use two of the stainless steel wire clips on the sides of the panes nearest to the roof 
vent so that the vent will close correctly. (See illustration for the correct way to fit these). 

(Key 

Point). 

 

6.  Repeat the glazing procedure on the other side of the house.

 

 

7.  Following this, glaze the rear end in a similar fashion.

 

 

8.  Proceed to the door end and glaze that, but use wire clips on the left 

hand edges of the panes to the right hand side of the door opening, 
so that the door slides open correctly. 

(Key Point). 

 

9.  Finally, glaze the door.
