Fastening of glass to glass with accessories

Glass is one of the most popular kinds of building and finishing materials. Transparent constructions, mounted from glass canvases, can be seen in offices, fences of shopping centers, building facades, as visors above the entrance and even in the form of exotic bridges.

Types of building glass

For the construction of translucent structures, two types of treated glass are used: tempered and laminated. Both have an elevated safety threshold. Tempered glass, if damaged, crumbles into small crumbs, laminated sags on the film. Mount it with the help of fasteners.

Glass constructive

In domestic conditions, the glass is fixed to the glass with the help of special glue compounds such as "Crystal". Frozen, they become invisible and do not spoil the appearance of the product. To obtain a collapsible design, various types of fasteners are used, which make it possible to obtain any rectangular shape. For this purpose, glass fittings have been developed and used for shower cabins, sliding systems, pendulum doors, visors and other architectural and design forms.

Types of fittings

In the construction, decoration of premises for industrial and residential purposes, fittings for attaching canvases are used. Fasteners are made of stainless polished steel, the material guarantees durability, durability, aesthetics of joints.
The fittings are designed in several types, depending on the scope of application:

• Glass to glass;
• Glass to the wall;
• Profile;
• Spider.

One-touch fasteners

Fastening of glass to the glass can be found everywhere, if you pay attention to the transparent partitions, doors, shower cabins. Mounting of buildings is carried out with the help of fittings. For each type of structure, its own fastening system has been developed. Point fixing of the glass involves drilling a hole in the canvas, where a mounting bushing is inserted, through which the glass is attached to a wall or other glass. The aesthetic attachment is attached by the lining. Lining or decorative stubs have a variety of designs, their main function is to hide the structural connections and give a complete look to the whole product. The plug can protrude above the surface or be hidden in a plane.

For the high-quality and safe construction of a translucent system, calculation of the amount of fasteners is required. It is done based on the technical characteristics of the fittings, the basis for the calculation is the ability of the fastener unit to withstand a certain number of kilograms of load. Point-fastening of glass is most often used for the installation of enclosures of stairs, atriums, balconies. Glass aprons were widely spread in the kitchen. Their installation can also be carried out with a point attachment to the wall.

Transparent facade

The fastening of the glass to the glass is used to give the construction a visual lightness, absolute transparency. Glass facades of buildings - a modern trend of architecture. Technologically, transparent glass facades are called ventilated facades. To build a translucent wall helps guide structures from metal and glass mounting brackets. Brackets are also known as the spider fastener system . In appearance, it resembles a spider, hence the name. The spider fastener has modifications due to the need to install glass sheets in a straight line or at an angle to each other. The angle varies.

The fastening of glass to the glass on the facades of buildings is carried out by joints to each other. The technology of a ventilated glass facade imposes an obligatory distance between the cladding sheets, to protect against unfavorable weather factors. Brackets are also designed to meet these requirements. Spider fittings have found application in the work on the installation of building visors, flights of stairs, entrance panels, bridges. For large-scale work on the lining of buildings, the manufacture of visors, steps of stairs, ceilings, it is preferable to use laminated glass.

Stability of the partition

A fixed profile system is used to install a fixed glass partition. The profile is made of metal, for stability in an unfavorable environment, most often aluminum. The system is called the "terminal profile", the principle of action is the clamping of the web along the entire length. In the glass sheet, technological holes are drilled and with the help of bolts are clamped inside the profile system, additionally being compressed by the bumps. Profile fasteners are used for exterior and interior work.

The height of the profile varies from forty to one hundred millimeters. Used for fixing the web with a thickness of at least six and not more than twelve millimeters. Glass is used hardened or laminated. A thin profile for fixing the glass is used for the installation of fences, and a higher one for the installation of interior partitions, input groups, separation of the inner rooms of the shopping center into retail areas. In the case of mounting a glass partition wall, the clamping profile is installed on the ceiling and floor for parallel top and bottom fixing of the sheets. A glass sheet can consist of several sheets connected in one piece.

Architectural elements and design solutions, embodied with the help of glass, help to let in the rooms more light, leave the surrounding space a chance to become a part of our life, dissolve barriers and give a sense of ease.
