Glazing

An introduction to the glazing trade: what glaziers do and where they work, glass types and framing systems, tools and materials, installing and sealing glass so it stays watertight, the code basics, the hazards and how to control them, and the apprenticeship and career path.

The second glazing course: how storefront and curtain wall carry load and shed water, shop drawings and field measuring for fabrication, anchorage and the structural interface, sizing and selecting glass under the code, sealant joints and field water testing, and sequencing the install and the hoisting so the common failures never get built in.
