Unauthorized distribution and/or reproduction of this materials is strictly prohibited.  \nHeavy Glass Door Design Manual  \nIntroduction  \nThe all-glass entrance has become increasingly popular with architects and interior designers. These entrance systems are technically not all glass but would be better described as heavy glass door and entrance systems. For the purpose of this Design Manual, heavy glass (HG) is defined as fully tempered glass equal to or greater than 3/8 in. (10 mm), or tempered laminated glass constructed with two or more lites of glass equal to or greater than 1/2 in. (12 mm). Entrance systems incorporate HG, metal rails, small metal patch fittings and sometimes structural silicone. Heavy glass with polished edges provides sleek-looking entrance doors that make an elegant statement for the building or shop owner.  \nThis Heavy Glass Door Design Manual is provided to assist designers in making their decisions by supplying answers to the most commonly asked design questions. A HG entrance can be used as an exterior entrance for a monumental building or a simple interior mall storefront. The attractiveness of a storefront or entrance tends to be the focal point for pedestrians and thus sets the stage for the building or shop.  \nThe purpose of this Design Manual is to provide authoritative technical information to designers and to offer some suggestions as to the proper applications of HG used in doors and entrances. The aim of this Design Manual is to promote good design practice and adherence to appropriate structural standards in fully tempered heavy glass storefront and entrance design. Good design and adherence to standards will serve as a benefit to all parties involved: the architect, the glass fabricator, the installing contractor and, most importantly, the building owner, who is the end user.  \nThis manual hopes to offer assistance during the decision-making stages of a project. The contents ofthis manual are for the design professional’s use in review and final approval.  \nDisclaimer  \nThis manual was developed by the National Glass Association (NGA) and this disclaimer is made by the NGA (the Provider).
