    Joint at Unsupported Edge

    This document provides construction details for joints in glass structures without frames. It includes 4 figures showing joint details for single glazing, laminated safety glass, junctions with partitions for insulating units. The text explains that for joints without frames, a sealing gasket is pressed into the joint to create a tight seal, and optional injected sealant can be added later. It notes that rebates for insulating units, laminated safety glass and wired glass must remain open to allow vapor pressure equalization and drainage. Figure 3.1.38 shows a frameless connection between a glass partition and double-glazed external wall.

    A prime characteristic of point fixings is the dis- 1 4 3 5 7


    tinction between fixing and sealing.
    Figs 3.1.36, 3.1.37 and 3.1.39 illustrate options
    for seals between glass elements without
    frames. The sealing gasket – EPDM or silicone
    – is pressed into the joint; it should have a cer-
    tain prestress so that it fits tightly. Such joints 1 4
    can be closed rapidly during installation; an
    injected sealant can be applied later.
    The covered rebates of insulating units, lami-
    nated safety glass and wired glass must remain
    free of sealant so that vapour-pressure equali-
    zation and drainage are guaranteed. A backing 3.1.36
    cord should not be included here as it would
    block the open rebate and hinder the vapour-
    pressure equalization. Moisture escapes to the
    outside via the drainage system. 2 5 6 3 4 7
    When using laminated safety glass, the sealing
    gasket must cover the joint between panes so
    that, as with insulating units, the edge seal and
    the exposed PVB interlayer or casting resin are
    in the area of the vapour-pressure equalization
    and hence no moisture builds up and remains
    trapped there over a longer period. 2 5 6
