BS 6262-6:2005

• 81.040.20 Glass in building

This part of BS 6262 gives information and recommendations for vertical glazing in the external walls and interiors of buildings, with respect to:

1. structural sealant glazing;

2. bolt fixed structural glazing;

3. frameless doors and entrances;

4. mirrors.

5. Bolt fixed structural glazing with countersunk holes is not specifically covered.

NOTE some guidance is also given on non-vertical use of mirrors.

These recommendations do not apply to:

1. patent glazing (see BS 5516-1);

2. glass in non-vertical applications (see BS 5516-2);

3. glazing for furniture and fittings (see BS 7376 and BS 7449);

4. glazing for commercial greenhouses (see BS 5502-21);

5. glazing for domestic greenhouses.

Requirements for standards of workmanship for the application of sealants have been published separately as BS 8000-16, and therefore this subject is not dealt with in this standard.
