Assembly of glass panels for reservoir, swimming-pool, aquarium

摘要

The structure, such as a tank, swimming pool or aquarium, is made from glass panels, (1) held together by a frame (12) with seals. The panels are equipped with mechanical fastenings (5,8) which are fitted to them in the workshop and make for easier assembly on site. The glass panels are laminated, having an inner layer (4) of a material such as PVB, and their fastenings, are in the form of frame members (5) with bolts (10) or threaded holes, joined to the panels by a silicone-type seal (6,7) applied in mastic form and setting after assembly. The frame members can have an L-shaped cross-section so that they cover and protect the edges of the glass.
