Types of Structural glazing
-
• Unitized system
• Semi Unitized system
• Pressure Plate Cover Cap System
A. Unitized Glazing
In the Unitized System, Aluminum frames are attached to the columns after detailed area analysis. The unit connecting to the floor entirely manufactured at the factory is created on the brackets.
10% of the work is completed at the site in the above system.
Any aluminum unit will not be apparent from the outside in this system. You will be able to notice grooves running vertically and horizontally. In that system, the glass is attached with the assistance of structural sealant. The requisition of structural adhesive is the vital system as this is the sealant that keeps the glass on the shelf for life.
With a large amount of glazing, this system is exceptionally favorable for big-rise buildings. In installations of this system, you do not require any scaffolding, and using a cradle/hoist/crane, the structure of panels is completed.
B. Semi- Unitized Glazing
In a Semi-Unitized Glazing system, horizontal transoms and vertical mullions are launched on Aluminum backers, attached to the slabs/columns. By structural sealant cut to quantity glass of structurally suited to the aluminum subframe, and this subframe, glass is established on the work grid.
As mentioned above, most tasks are performed at the site, and the application of structural bond is the critical strategy as that is the sealant that keeps the glass to the shelf for existence. To start this system, you require to possess scaffolding from outside for installations.
PINNACLE Specializes in the proper selection and application of the sealant. We guarantee to clients to receive this manufactured warranty through the appropriate application of sealant.
C. Curtain Wall Glazing
In this curtain wall glazing system, the curtain wall operates a pressure plate and the cover cap to keep the glass to the mullion and the transom. The establishment and the invention are related to the structurally glazed curtain wall. Rather than structural silicon and the toggle, we can manipulate the pressure plate and cover cap to keep the glass mechanically. There are various types of cover caps varying from rectangle to oval form, which give an aesthetic view of the building. Horizontal and vertical aluminum members will be noticeable from the exterior in this system.
