A panel supporting device for suspending the multi-layer panels 5, 6 of e.g. an all-glass facade from a load-bearing structure. Profiles 11, 11' of the support device extend around the edges of the panels and retain the outer panes 5, 5' by mechanical engagement of edge steps 7, 8 thereon. Front and rear panes 5, 5' forming each panel are adhesively held together as a unit by spacer elements 9, 10 around their edges. To provide extra integrity each profile (11, 11') has an integral stabilising flange 16, 16' that projects between the front and rear panes and is embedded in a silicone adhesive 15 filled into the edge interspace 24 between the panes. Receiving grooves 20, 21 for the mounting of gap-masking profiles 22 are provided in faces of the profiles directed towards the spaces of division between adjacent panels. <IMAGE> |
