Structural Glazing
Structural Glazing is term used to describe glass that is integral to the design of a building. It involves large glass panels, which usually bear some weight in the structure. Structural glazing can be used to create huge glass installations with minimal obstruction. There are myriad ways structural glazing can be implemented in a design. It can bear weight both horizontally and vertically, and it can be bonded using everything from minimal glass beams and supports to heavy-duty steel struts, meaning it can be used on almost any scale, with almost any aesthetic imaginable.
Types Of Structural GLazing:Structural glazing is used extensively in skyscrapers, with glass facades a ubiquitous feature in the financial centres of cities across the globe. Strengthened, laminated glass can also be used in floors, roofs and frameless glass walls at home.
