Key checks for Leigh projects
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
The joint is part of the test
The sealant, joint width and any interlayer in the joint come from the test. Generic silicone in a fire glass joint is not acceptable.
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
