Architectural Glass: Overhead Glazing

Description

Laminated glass for use in sloped and overhead glazing can be used monolithically or fabricated into insulating glass units. Insulating glass units typically consist of an outboard lite of heat-strengthened glass that resists accidental damage caused by falling objects, and an inboard laminated glass that captures any fragments. Tempered glass is not normally recommended for the outboard lite as small broken particles can easily slide down the outside of the roof and onto the ground in the event of accidental damage.
