Abstract
Like clamped glazing, bolt fixed glazing has a high degree of transparency provided by the bolts which replace the need for metal framing around the edges of the glass sheet or double glazed units. One of the main advantages of bolt fixed glazing is the small size of the fixings when compared to the larger and more frequent clamped fixings. This system can also be double glazed much more easily since a spacer can be introduced into double glazed units during manufacture, away from the edge of the glass, where it also has the advantage of reducing the glass span, thus minimising glass thickness. However, the sight lines associated with double glazed units are almost the same as those for stick glazing, with the black line around the edge of two adjacent units, plus a 20mm (0.78in) average joint in silicone giving an overall 50mm (2in) thick joint width in a dark colour.
