Key steps in the installation process of tempered glass
First stage: expert advice, visit and accurate measurement
Second step: choosing glass and standard fittings
After the measurement, it is time to choose the material. For the chimney system, usually 10 mm thick tempered glass is used, which has a high resistance to impact and thermal shock. But more important than the glass itself is its fittings. For an efficient chimney system, fittings must have certain characteristics:
- Self-closing hinge or step: the most important part of the system is the hinge that closes the door automatically and quietly after each opening. This mechanism ensures that the door is never left open.
- Suitable handle: Handles should be chosen in such a way that they are easy to use in an emergency.
- Smoke seals: For complete air sealing, special seals are used around the frame or edges of the glass to prevent even the slightest stream of smoke from passing through.
A professional smoke-proof tempered glass installation requires the use of high-quality and standard fittings.
The third step: preparing the frame and substructure
Toughened glass, especially in large dimensions, has a significant weight. Therefore, they must be installed on a solid and level frame. This frame is usually made of metal or steel profiles. The executive team responsible for the installation of tempered glass must ensure the strength and verticality of the frame. Any weakness in the infrastructure can lead to the door falling down, the malfunction of the self-closing hinge, and ultimately the ineffectiveness of the chimney system.
The fourth step: detailed installation and final adjustment
This stage is the peak of expertise and skill of the executive team. The glass panels are carefully placed in their place and the fittings are installed on them. After the installation, the most important part of the work, i.e. "regalage", begins. In this step, the closing speed of the door, the final power of locking and its complete alignment are adjusted. A successful smokeproof tempered glass installation is complete when the door, when released, rests smoothly in its frame and closes completely at a controlled speed without slamming. This precise adjustment requires special expertise that the experienced teams of Salehi Industrial Group are proficient in.
Technical points that a professional tempered glass installer must follow
Differentiating a professional work from an ordinary work is in observing these subtle points.
The importance of air sealing and complete sealing
The main purpose is to control the smoke. Therefore, after installing the tempered glass, all possible seams between the glass and the frame or between two glass panels (in systems with inscriptions) must be completely blocked by silicone sealants or special tapes. A professional installer will carefully check all these points and seal (air sealing here) so that the system has 100% performance.
Fine adjustment of the step mechanism (self-closing)
Self-closing mechanism or step is the heart of the chimney system. This piece, which is usually installed on the floor, has adjustment screws to control the speed of the door in two stages (initial speed and final stroke). Improper adjustment can cause the door to either close too quickly and tightly (dangerous for children) or move too slowly and stop before reaching the frame (disabling the flue system). A smoke-proof glass installation specialist spends enough time to precisely adjust this mechanism.
