How can I roughtly calculateTempered glass horizontal spans

I am contemplating replacing Lexan panels on a patio cover with tempered glass and need a reasonable starting point for the spans allowed by various thicknesses of the glass.  My spans are approx. 4ft between continuous frames and load lengths of approx. 50" and 80".  Any accessible calculators on line or knowledgeable suggestions welcomed. Wind zone is 120mph, no high exposure rating. Thanks

Frameless glass balustrade on spigot. Height 1350mm

Hi, 

We need advice with a frameless glass balustrade we have been asked to supply and install. 

Job is in qld, Australia.  

Glass, 12mm toughened. Fix to slab with 2 x core drill stainless steel spigots. Handrail to bolt through glass and tie into walls. 

 

The developer and architect want the finished glass height to be 1350mm . 

The spigot supplier only has calculations to a glass height of 1200mm. 

We are in need of someone to advise or calculate if we can go to 1350mm high. 

Loking for an expert advice

Hi!

There are big windows in my new office with small scratches on them. I want to buy a window cleaning robot. 

1) I don't know which one to choose. These are my variants https://www.bestadvisers.co.uk/window-cleaning-robot, but I open to any other suggestions ;)

2) Can I use a robot, when I have scratches on the windows? Won't it make situation worth? 

Thank you for your time and ideas!

Triple IG Unit Spacer Alignment Tolerance

I am in search of a document, preferably ASTM or similar, that outlines:

  • the tolerances for IG units in regards to spacer alignment, in terms of the straightness of the spacer along any given length for foam spacers, and
  • the parallel alignment of spacers in triple IG units

If anyone knows where I can find this information, I have about exhausted my search online.

Thanks.
