pane transport rack
is a
transparent part of a
wall, usually made of
glass or
plastic (
acrylic and
polycarbonate). Glazing also describes the work done by a professional "
glazier".
Common types of glazing used in architectural applications include clear and tinted
float glass,
tempered glass, and laminated glass as well as a variety of coated glasses, all of which can be glazed singly or as
double, or even triple, glazing units. Ordinary clear glass has a slight green tinge but special clear glasses are offered by several manufacturers.
Glazing can be mounted in a
window sash or
door stile, usually made of
wood,
aluminium or
PVC. The glass or plastic is fixed into a
rabbet (rebate) in the frame in a number of ways including triangular glazing points,
putty, etc.. Toughened and laminated glass can be glazed by bolting panes directly to a metal framework by bolts passing through drilled holes.
Glazing is commonly used in low temperature solar thermal collectors because it results in an increase in the Sun's radiosity.
