As structural glass assemblies do not have the benefit of movement joints or seismic receivers like a conventional aluminum framed curtainwall, special consideration must be given to building movement, live load deflections and environment loads such as wind and seismic.
As these types of assemblies are often installed in areas of high density people movement, i.e. emergency egress pathways where human safety is paramount, it is imperative that they are engineered accordingly and that the glass specified is appropriate for overhead situations.
Our in-house glass engineers are capable of helping design and engineer a solution for you and can provide Producer Statements 1 (Design), 2 (Design Review), 3 (Construction) & 4 (Construction Review) as required for client and or council compliance.
