Glazing your conservatory

Monday August 16, 2010 at 2:37pm

One of the easier parts of building your conservatory is the frame glazing. We supply in the fixing kit enough glazing packers to do the whole job. The fixed toughened windows are very straitforward with the packers equally spaced around the frames and the bead gently hammered in afterwards. Similarly, the small toplights are simple but more care should be used when beading as these are not toughened.

With the French doors, these require a different approach. The glass units need to be toe and heeled. This has the effect of transfering the main weight of the glass towards the hinges, and by using supplied wedge packers along the top of the door sash on the opposite side to the hinges, the entire sash can be jacked up to the correct position, allowing for perfect alignment.
