Before installing a glass panel, what should be verified?

Verifying the structural integrity and cleanliness of the frame before installing a glass panel is crucial for ensuring a safe and effective installation. The frame must be structurally sound to support the weight of the glass and withstand environmental stressors, such as wind and temperature changes. A weak or damaged frame may lead to failure or accidents after installation, posing safety risks.

Additionally, cleanliness is an essential factor because any dirt, debris, or foreign substances can interfere with the adhesive properties of sealants and disrupt the proper fit of the glass panel. This could potentially lead to leaks or weakening of the glass installation over time. Therefore, ensuring both the structural integrity and cleanliness of the frame is fundamental to achieving a successful glass installation.
