Glass Partitions: Installation Guidelines and Standards
1. Material Requirements
Glass Specifications: All glass types, specifications, performance, patterns, and colors must meet design requirements. Safety glass is mandatory for glass partitions.
Metal Framework: Aluminum alloy frames, stainless steel plates, angle steel, channel steel, and lightweight thin-walled channel steel should comply with relevant design standards.
Other Materials: Expansion bolts, glass support pads, rubber fittings, metal components, and structural sealants must meet specified standards.
2. Key Tools and Equipment
Essential tools include:
Welding machine
Impact drill
Electric drill
Cutting machine
Glass suction cups
Measuring tools (rulers, levels, tape measures)
Hand tools (hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers)
Glue guns and glass lifting equipment
3. Work Conditions
Structural work must be completed and inspected.
Reference lines and points must be accurately tested.
Embedded components and metal grooves for glass installation must be checked.
Installation areas must be clean and properly drained.
Necessary scaffolding and materials should be prepared.
Installation measures must be approved by professionals.
Working temperature should be no lower than 5°C.
4. Installation Process
Process Flow:
Marking and positioning → Material cutting and assembly → Fixing the framework → Installing glass → Sealing joints → Frame decoration → Cleaning.
Detailed Steps:
Marking: Establish ground lines and vertical lines on walls. Identify positions for vertical frames and check embedded iron placements.
Cutting and Assembly: Measure and cut aluminum profiles accurately. Assemble the framework on-site or pre-assemble for smaller areas.
Fixing Framework: Use metal anchors to secure frames to walls and floors. Apply anti-corrosion paint to steel materials.
Installing Glass: Clean grooves, position the glass using suction cups, and ensure proper fitting.
Sealing Joints: Use structural silicone sealant for airtight joints and ensure smooth application.
Decoration: Ensure seamless integration with surrounding surfaces.
Cleaning: Wipe glass surfaces clean post-installation.
5. Quality Standards
Key Control Points:
Materials must comply with design and national standards.
Installation must be secure and meet specified methods.
General Standards:
Glass surfaces should be uniform, clean, and aesthetically pleasing.
Joints must be straight and without defects.
6. Product Protection
Mark installed glass partitions to prevent damage.
Protect frames from other construction processes.
Establish barriers in high-traffic areas to avoid collisions.
7. Important Considerations
Verify the room’s dimensions and wall integrity before installation.
Ensure all connections are solid and filled with elastic sealants to prevent leaks.
Handle glass carefully during transport and installation.
Follow manufacturer guidelines for adhesive usage and joint sealing.
