Example for anchoring on base plate

Comments on executing the inner gasket level:

1. The controlled drainage of rebate areas is only ensured if the gasket areas

overlap in such a manner that no moisture can penetrate under the

gaskets or foils.

2. Run foil as moisture barrier until it lies under the cross-beam

gasket and then bond with steel construction. In accordance with

DIN 18195 Part 5, the waterproofing must be at least 150 mm above

the water-conducting layer.

3. Bond foil with building moisture barrier in accordance with DIN 18195.

4. The rebate area is ventilated via the open ends of the vertical cover strips.

5. The illustrated flush-mounted execution of the beam with the floor is not

mandatory. Ensure vapour-tight execution of the connection.

6. The anchoring of the posts must be adequately dimensioned through static

calculation. The required edge clearances of the base plates and in the structural

elements must be observed.

7. Heat insulation in the connection area must be carried out in such a manner

that thermal bridges are avoided.

8. Steel parts in the hidden installed area must also be treated with adequate

corrosion protection.

9. Weather protection sheets must be formed in line with the structural requirements.

Adequate rear ventilation must be ensured.

Connection in front of the floor structure

Continuous or separated posts

Depending on the structural requirements, posts are either formed continuously as multiple span girders or they are

separated floor-by-floor. Reasons for floor-by-floor post separation can vary widely, e.g. soundproofing, structural

expansion, fire protection, etc. If the separation joint is used for expansion compensation, then, in addition to the

degrees of freedom required for the posts, the slide possibilities of the installed elements must be taken into consid-

eration.

The multiple girder principle comes into effect for

continuous supports and corresponding supports from a

static perspective. There is less deflexion through

influences. As a result, the required inertia torque is

reduced, for instance, by a factor of 0.42 when using a 2-

span girder. A stress analysis is, however, always required.

Eave with glass roof connection

Different implementation variants

Implementation with stepped-edge glazing

Depending on the post formation, implementation with or without a rain gutter and the selection between stepped-

edge glazing or closing ceiling strip, result in different implementation variants. Irrespective of the variant used, en-

sure consistent drainage of condensation and moisture on the eave.

Our thermal calculations show a somewhat less favourable isotherm shift with stepped-edge glazing compared cov-

ered glass edges.

In addition, ensure that a UV-resistant glass edge composite is selected for stepped-edge glazing. These composite

edge systems are usually silicone based and, due to their limited impermeability to gas, do not attain the same high

soundproofing and heat insulation values as traditional systems.

Stepped-edge glazing must also be structurally dimensioned against wind suction in accordance with its reduced

fixing. Additional thermal stress on stepped-edge glazing should be countered by using single-pane safety glass.

Implementation without stepped-edge glazing

Horizontal press strips hinder rainwater run-off. Our bevelled cover strips significantly reduce damming in front of the

cover strip. Ensure precise sealing of outer gasket area.

In combination with out joint seals made of butyl-lined, stainless steel plates, the glass roofing with four-sided press

strip covering also achieves a high safety standard. Ensure a continuous inner gasket level which provides safe drain-

age for condensation.

Connection to the roof

When connecting to structural elements, movements that may occur should be taken into consideration. In addition to

temperature-induced linear expansion of the facade, all linear expansion and movement of the tangential structure

must also be taken into account. Addition stress must be prevented.

Connection to installed eave

This connection is suitable for glass roofs which are placed on structural elements such as a skylight. These can be

gable roofs, pitch roofs, pyramids or arched roofs.

Connecting foils

The connection of glazing to the structural element requires carefully thought-out construction in many regards. Mois-

ture damage also occurs if room moisture condenses on existing thermal bridges. Consequently, thermal bridges

should be avoided and warm room air should be prevented from penetrating too far into the construction or structural

element. The required vapour barriers, in the form of vapour-tight connection foils, must be brought as far into the

room as possible. This prevents condensation from the room air dampening the construction. An additional foil for

rain impermeability must be vapour permeable (mandatory). Dry construction can only be guaranteed in the transition

zone if this foil has a vapour diffusion resistance factor of maximum 3000 µ.

Ridge formation

When forming the ridge cap, ensure that the rafter covering strips are pulled under the ridge cap. The cutouts of the

cover strip in the sheet covering must be kept narrow. A foil capable of vapour diffusion that is bonded with the upper

glass edges prevents water from penetrating.

Ridge connection to wall

Ensure vapour impermeability for ridge connections. If the inner gasket area leaks, warm air with high water retention

penetrates into the colder zones and allows moisture to penetrate into the connection construction thus leading to

construction damage.

Horizontal wall connection

Building connection:

Thermal bridges must be avoided through adequate insulation. A waterproof foil that extends into the room-side as far

as possible prevents room moisture from condensing in the construction. An outer foil is not necessary if the connec-

tion planning so allows.

Facade corner formation – outside corner

At prominent points such as glazed facade corners, ensure that there is sufficient heat insulation to avoid thermal

bridges and the hazard on condensation formation. Heat flow calculations provide information on actual heat losses.
