glazing guidelines Glass Breakage It is important to first determine appropriate loads for the glass. Viracon can supply glass strength analyses on specified products. “Unexplained” glass breakage may still occur due to thermal stress, glazing system pressures, glazing damage, handling and storage conditions, excessive wind loads, objects and debris striking the glass, improper factory fabrication or damage by persons or objects at the construction site. framing deflections Refer to the GANA glazing manual for information on adequate framing systems. You are required to comply with industry standards for framing deflection. It must not exceed either the length of the span divided by 175 or 3/4” (19 mm), whichever is less. Non-rectangular glass shapes Viracon capabilities include cutting virtually any shape glass required for your project without full-size patterns. However, if you require a full-size pattern, it must be submitted to Viracon on mylar. If not, Viracon will transfer the pattern to mylar at an additional charge. Viracon will not be responsible for size accuracy. For additional information, contact Viracon Inside Sales. Warranty information Viracon architectural products carry limited warranties. Failure to adhere to the following guideline for spandrel glass will void its warranty: Viracon does not recommend or warrant applications in which insulation is applied directly to the glass. The area behind the panel must be vented to prevent condensation from forming on cold interior surfaces. Insulation should be installed with a 1” air space between the glass and insulation (See Figure 4). Visit viracon.com for copies of our product warranties.

GLOSSARY GlOSSARY Acoustics: The science of sound and sound control. Air Side: The side of float glass that was up, or exposed to the “air”, when it was manufactured. The bottom side is referred to as the “tin” side because it floated on a liquid tin bath. Coatings are applied to the air side. Air Spacer: A desiccant filled frame used to separate two lites of glass in an insulating unit. Annealed: Raw glass with low residual stresses. This enables cutting and fabrication. Argon Gas: An invisible non toxic gas used in insulating units to enhance the units insulating performance (u-value). Autoclave: A vessel that employs high pressure and heat. In the glass industry, used to produce a bond between glass interlayers creating a laminated glass product. Bite: The dimension by which the framing system overlaps the edge of the glazing infill. Blast Resistant Glass: A laminated glazing construction commonly specified to mitigate injuries from flying glass resulting from an air-blast explosive. Butt Glazed: The installation of glass products where the vertical glass edges are without structural supporting mullions. Butyl: Shortened term for polyisobutylene. The primary seal of an insulating unit and key component in restricting moisture vapor transmission. Capillary Tube: A small tube factory-placed into the air spacer of an insulating unit used for balancing interior and exterior pressures during transportation over higher elevations i.e. mountain ranges or air transport. Ceramic Frit: An enamel applied to glass for decorative/aesthetic appearances and/or functionality such as solar control, ceramic frit is applied with a large roller for full spandrel applications or through a screen for silk-screen applications. Ceramic Ink: An enamel applied to glass for decorative and aesthetic appearances and/or functionality such as solar control, ceramic ink is applied with a programmable print head for digital inkjet printing. Ceramic ink has a thinner viscosity than ceramic frit which allows it to flow through the print head. Coated Glass: A general reference to any glass incorporating a reflective or low-e coating. Condensation: The appearance of moisture (water vapor) on the surface of an object caused by warm moist air coming into contact with a colder object. Conventionally Glazed: A framing system that captures the glazing component in the glazing channel. CPSC 16 CFR 1201: Safety Standard for Architectural Glazing Materials. Delamination: An unbonded area in laminated glass between glass and PVB. Desiccant: Small extremely porous beads used to absorb moisture in the sealed air spacer of an insulating unit. Distortion: Alteration of viewed images caused by variations in glass flatness or inhomogeneous portions within the glass, an inherent characteristic of heat-treated glass. Double Laminated Insulating Glass: An insulating glass unit in which both the interior and exterior components are a laminated glass. Double Strength: Refers to clear 1/8” (3mm) thick float glass. Dual Seal: Refers to an insulating unit with a primary seal of polyisobutylene (butyl) and a secondary seal of silicone. Emissivity: The measure of a surface’s ability to emit long-wave infrared radiation. <strong>VIRACON</strong> // RESOURCES 129
