Glazing is a transparent part of a wall, usually made of glass or plastic (acrylic and polycarbonate). Glazing also describes the work done by a professional “glazier”.
Common types of glazing used in architectural applications include clear and tinted float glass, tempered glass, and laminated glass as well as a variety of coated glasses, all of which can be glazed singly or as double, or even triple, glazing units. Ordinary clear glass has a slight green tinge but special clear glasses are offered by several manufacturers.
Glazing can be mounted in a window sash or door stile, usually made of wood, aluminium or PVC. The glass or plastic is fixed into a rabbet (rebate) in the frame in a number of ways including triangular glazing points, putty, etc.. Toughened and laminated glass can be glazed by bolting panes directly to a metal framework by bolts passing through drilled holes.
Glazing is commonly used in low temperature solar thermal collectors because it results in an increase in the Sun’s radiosity.
