5. Sizing tempered glass systems
Tempered glass installations (IVT) are covered by professional rules – Règles de Conception et de mise en œuvre des installations en verre trempé – FFPV – November 2004 [8].
Tempered glass installation is a technique for using tempered glass products to form the interior or exterior envelope of a building, or as a free-standing structure. This technique can also be used for fittings, street furniture, furnishings, etc. Glass products are clamped to the shell or to each other by means of metal parts in slots or holes provided for this purpose.
Tempered glass is mainly used for vertical walls and, to a lesser extent, for certain horizontal or inclined parts:
fixed parts ;
doors ;
bracing.
