- Low profile glazing systems, Capped or Structurally Glazed
- Capped System captures glass in a gasketed aluminum system
- Requires continuous sloping structural rafters - AESS steel or planed wood members to maintain tight tolerances for glass alignment
- Structurally Glazed System provides flush top surface
- Best option for low slopes- to 1/2:12!
- Requires continuous structure in sloped plane - rafters or horizontal purlins
- Cantilever glass at any edge
- Glass edge finish options:
- Polished flat with arris
- Protected with flat bar band in anodized aluminum or stainless
- Glass thickness engineered to limit deflection, prevent water ponding and maintain straight leading edge
