1 Scope
This part of BS 6262 gives information and recommendations for vertical glazing in the external walls and interiors of buildings, with respect to:
-
a) structural sealant glazing;
-
b) bolt fixed structural glazing;
-
c) frameless doors and entrances;
-
d) mirrors.
-
e) Bolt fixed structural glazing with countersunk holes is not specifically covered.
NOTE some guidance is also given on non-vertical use of mirrors.
These recommendations do not apply to:
-
1) patent glazing (see BS 5516‑1);
-
2) glass in non-vertical applications (see BS 5516‑2);
-
3) glazing for furniture and fittings (see BS 7376 and BS 7449);
-
4) glazing for commercial greenhouses (see BS 5502‑21);
-
5) glazing for domestic greenhouses.
Requirements for standards of workmanship for the application of sealants have been
published separately as BS s000-16, and therefore this subject is not dealt with in
this standard.
