Traditional patent glazing system - Victoria Quarter, Leeds
The Traditional patent glazing system is a popular choice for unheated spaces such as railway stations, glazed canopies and covered ways where thermal properties are not a primary consideration.
It is available with a choice of capping systems to suit a variety of aesthetic and functional needs, offering versatility alongside its robust performance.
Designed to emulate the classical glazing bar profile, the glazing bar's strength is gained from an external stalk (or web).
Glass can be secured in place by a choice of either extruded aluminium screw-on wings or caps.
This system is almost exclusively used for single-glazed applications, although double-glazed units can be easily accommodated where Building Regulation Document L compliance is not a requirement.
