The end face and surfaces of U-shaped glass must be free of jagged notches and cracks.

Each individual U-shaped glass member shall be supported on a uniformly elastic liner.

There should be no hard contact between glass and adjacent metal, concrete, or mortar structures.

There must be a gap between the upper end of the u-shaped glass and the higher parts of the building such as the beams, the Kaifeng, the roof panels, etc. .

Leave a gap of at least 25mm between the upper end of the U-shaped glass and the adjacent structure above it to allow for movement and facilitate installation and replacement.

The Longitudinal joints between the U-GLASS must be filled with an elastic sealing material.

Sealants and sealing components, such as two-part polysulfide sealant, silicone rubber and flexible PVC profiles, are used between U-shaped glass and its supporting frame and between adjacent glass panels.
