Glazing joint

摘要

A glazing joint comprises a first elongate strip 4 having a cap 5 and a pair of spaced legs 6 extending therefrom and a second elongate strip 1 having a cap 2 and a leg 3 extending therefrom. In a first aspect the space between the legs 6 of the first strip 4 is greater than the thickness of the leg 2 of the second strip 1 and the width of each cap 5, 2 is greater than the distance between the outer sides of the legs 6 of the first strip 4. In a second aspect the leg 3 of the second strip 1 is positioned in use between the legs 6 of the first elongate strip 4 within a cavity defined by opposed edges of adjacent sheets of glazing material joined by the glazing joint. In this second aspect the outer surfaces of the legs 6 of the first strip 4 lie in contact with the opposed edges of the glazing sheets and the caps 5, 2 of the elongate strips lie over the open ends of the cavity defined between the edges of the sheets of glazing material. Strips of double sided adhesive tape 8 may be provided on the outer surfaces of the legs 6 of the first strip 4. Guide tongues 9 may be provided on the tips of the legs 6 of the first strip 4. The strips may be formed from a plastics material such as extruded UPVC.
