GLAZING

GLAZING REFERS TO THE INSTALLATION OF GLASS IN

WINDOWS, DOORS, OR ANY OTHER FIXED
OPENING.GLAZING CAN BE REFERRED TO AS ANY AND
ALL THE GLASS WITHIN THE STRUCTURE OR THE
INSTALLATION OF ANY PIECE OF GLASS WITHIN A
SASH OR FRAME.

THE GLASS OR POLYCARBONATE PANES IN A

STRUCTURE. ALSO THE ACT OF INSTALLING PANELS
OF GLASS IN A STRUCTURE. GLAZING BEAD –A
MOLDING OR STOP AROUND A WINDOW FRAME THAT
APPLIES PRESSURE TO THE GLASS TO HOLD IT IN
PLACE.

TYPES OF GLAZING PANELS AND METHODS

DRY GLAZED
WET GLAZED
POINT SUPPORTED
GLASS SYSTEMS
CABLE NET
DOUBLE SKIN WALL
DRY GLAZING

IN THIS APPROACH, COMPRESSION STRESSES ARE

APPLIED TO FIX METAL PANELS OR GLASS UNITS
INTO THE GLAZING POCKET OF THE FRAMES. THE
NECESSARY COMPRESSION FORCE CAN BE OBTAINED
USING RUBBER GASKETS AND OCCASIONALLY
STRUCTURAL TAPES.
GENERALLY, THE RUBBER GASKET, WHICH IS
COMPRESSED IN ADVANCE, ARE PLACED ON EITHER
SIDE OF THE GLAZED ELEMENT, AND PANELS MAY BE
GLAZED FROM THE EXTERIOR OR INTERIOR BASED ON
THE SYSTEM.
WET GLAZING

AN ADHERING AGENT, LIKE STRUCTURAL

SILICONE, IS APPLIED TO AN ALUMINUM FRAME
BEFORE THE WINDOW PANEL IS PUT INTO
PLACE.THE SILICONE CREATES A BOND BETWEEN
THE PANEL AND THE FRAME, AND THIS WORK IS
BEST DONE INSIDE WHERE DUST IS MINIMALLY
PRESENT.THE REASON FOR THIS IS ANY DUST
WILL PREVENT THE ADHESIVE FROM WORKING AS
WELL AS IT SHOULD.

Wet glazing” is the

term used for
applying a silicone
sealant around
commercial windows
once their seals.
POINT SUPPORTED GLASS SYSTEMS

THE POINTED SUPPORT GLASS SYSTEM HAS WORKED

QUITE WELL SINCE THE 1960S, AND WHILE SOME
ADJUSTMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE, THE BASIC CONCEPT
IS STILL THE SAME.TEMPERED GLASS HAS HOLES IN
IT AND THOSE HOLES ARE USED TO ATTACH BOLTS
THROUGH.THE DOWNSIDE TO THIS METHOD IS THAT
THE BOLTS DO CAUSE OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE VIEW
AND IT IS NOT AS VISUALLY APPEALING TO THE
EYE.

CABLE NET
THE GLAZING METHOD CALLED CABLE NET CAN BE
QUITE COSTLY AND IT CAN TAKE A LOT OF TIME TO
INSTALL PROPERLY.HOWEVER, THE RESULTS OFFER
AMAZING VIEWS AND A LUXURIOUS LOOK FOR ANY
BUILDING.
DOUBLE SKIN WALL
THE DOUBLE SKIN WALL IS QUITE THE COMPLEX
GLAZING METHOD AND IT CONSISTS OF TWO LAYERS OF
GLASS OR FAÇADE.THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO
LAYERS USE THE ENERGY FROM THE SUN TO CREATE
WARM AIR THAT IS THEN VENTILATED THROUGHOUT THE
BUILDING.
CLADDING
CLADDING IN CONSTRUCTION ISMATERIAL APPLIED
OVER ANOTHER TO PROVIDE A SKIN OR LAYER AND
USED TO PROVIDE A DEGREE OF THERMAL INSULATION
AND WEATHER RESISTANCE, AND TO IMPROVE THE
APPEARANCE OF BUILDINGS.

WALL CLADDING
WALL CLADDING IS ALSO KNOWN AS SIDING. IT
TYPICALLY REFERS TO THIN PANELS OF ALUMINUM,
VINYL, AND OTHER COMPOSITE OR ENGINEERED
MATERIALS USED TO OFFER MANY OF THE SAME
BENEFITS AS TRADITIONAL CLADDING MATERIALS.
SIDING IS APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE EXTERIOR
OF A STRUCTURE, UNLIKE CLADDING, WHICH IS
MOUNTED INTO A SKELETAL FRAME BEFORE BEING
APPLIED TO THE EXTERIOR OF A STRUCTURE.
PURPOSE OF CLADDING
IT OFFERS A FORM OF PROTECTION FROM
OUTSIDE ELEMENTS AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS.
IT MAKES A BUILDING MORE FIRE-RESISTANT
IT SERVES A DECORATIVE FUNCTION BY
HIDING MORE UNATTRACTIVESUBSTRATES, OR
STRONG MATERIALS UNDER THE SURFACE OF
CLADDING WHICH ACT AS A FORM OF
STRUCTURAL SUPPORT

BENEFITS OF CLADDING
PROTECTION
PROVIDES A LOW MAINTENANCE OPTION
FOR AESTHETIC PURPOSE
