We offer a wide range of glazing systems which can achieve large spans to suit most designers requirements

The glazing system must always be fixed to OTHERS structural supports which require pitching to the roof slope to acheive weathertightness.

On deep glazing (slope lengths over 3200mm) a structural intermediate purlin (by others) is usually introduced into the design at the mid span position to enable a lighter glazing bar section to be used. Because glass over this length is not available in a single peice as standard, a convenient and common place to join the glass is over the intermediate purlin.

Please note that due to the manufacturing process of our Heritage Lead Clothed Steel glazing bars, we cannot supply them in lengths exceeding 3350mm (11'-0") regardless of whether intermediate supports are provided. If the glazing is required to exceed this length then the design must incorporate a break/tier to overcome this limitation.

Our charts below show indicative spans for all our glazing bar ranges based on the glazing bars being spaced at 600mm centres and should be used for guidance only.
