Strict Commercial Glazing Idaho Codes

By Deanne Shepard


The Idaho glazing codes spell out several criteria for all commercial glazing. These commercial glazing Idaho codes are essential for safe use of equipment and materials used in the process. Within this criteria, Dalle glass is deemed as a decorative composite material made with individual pieces of glass that are embedded into a unit. This means that it is for aesthetic purposes, rather than for functional reasons.

Manufacturers must place their mark on every glass pane they produce, noting the thickness and materials used. The mark must be made so it can't be removed without destroying the glass, preferably with ceramic firing or sand blasting. Glazing contractors won't be allowed to remove these indications at all, unless they have affidavits that say they can.

Glass that are positioned at a 15 degree slope or less have to be able to withstand any hard winds. It will have to adequately have the enough wind load resistance. The material on the glass of these positions have to be laminated. This can be made of interlayer polyvinyl butyral, or something of that similar caliber. Any laminate layer has to be at least 0.76 mm thick. All the glass located in glass storefronts or partitions have to also meet Idaho's seismic requirements. This is necessary for everyone' safety in the case of an earthquake.

Idaho's criteria calls for certain requirements for railing in-fill panels as well. For everyone's safety, the layer has to be at least a quarter inch in thickness. Specifically in the case of elevators, the glazing layer has to be laminated. As always, markings have to be clearly visible once the panels are installed.

Certain tools that won't be found in other professions will be needed for commercial glazing. Having these helps quicken the job, allow for a professional finish, and help make a clean installation. You might be able to find some of these tools in general hardware stores, but it's most likely that you will have to visit a store that sells specialty supplies. This equipment helps in both safety and productivity as well.

Safety equipment is really essential for glass handlers. Your eyes require safety goggles or glasses. Your hands and arms also require certain gloves and protective sleeves so you don't brush against the glass and get any injuries.

The most basic and important tools in commercial glazing are oil-filled glass cutters, vinyl rollers, measuring tape, and suction cups. Suction cups can help properly position the glass at the opening, while rollers will help install and hold the gasket that is around the glass. The measuring tape is required to take the most accurate measurements; 1 inch wide tape is best.

Use razor knives or cutters to trim and reinstall the vinyl that has stretched after removal. You'll also use plastic or rubber mallets to install aluminum trim at the opening. If the trim shifts slightly, you can use a half inch bastard cut file to fit it back into place. If the job requires a sealant, you'll need a caulking gun that will put constant pressure on it.
