Notes:
- Construction in steel (Powdercoated or Wet Spray)
- Timber (Varnished or painted)
- Aluminum (Powdercoated)
- Glass mainly laminated with polished edges
- Toughened glass can be used but must be supported on all four sides by a frame
- Glass choice is important to reduce heat, glare and UV
- Ventilation (i.e. large areas with no vertical ventilation) is important to reduce excess heat. Operated manually or by electronic remote control, smoke detectors, and rain sensors are available
- Condensation outlets at base of frame. Moisture can pass through the frame (especially important in Spa's, Bathroom's, Atrium's and Enclosed Pool areas
- Glass overhang with aluminum edging is necessary if the vertical glass or wall joins the glass roof, thus reducing stainmarks
- Structural glazing tape (Thermobond 6 x 9mm) and structual Silicon are used
- Acrylic silicon applied between frame and wall (closes hairline gaps) to complete internal finishing
- Screws and fixing bolts (covered with plastic cap heads)
- Double glazing if required (Reducing sound and heat loss)
- Additional Blinds (Reducing direct sunlight)
- If butt jointing vertical glass to slope is done without overhang, the staining of upright sections will occur. You will also not be able to have condensation outlets.
- If going for ventilating vertical windows, overhang is imperative.
