A method for securing glass facade elements comprised of sealed glazing units which include at least two parallel glass sheets (2, 3) separated by a spacer (4) which extends between the glass sheets and terminates short of the outer edges of the sheets, wherein a glue layer (7) is applied between the glass sheets but outwardly of the spacer, and wherein facade elements are secured to a frame structure (8), preferably a frame structure comprised of aluminium profiled sections. The invention is characterized in that when fitting the facade element (1) a clip (12) is placed between two neighbouring facade elements, the clip (12) being secured mechanically in the frame structure (8) and having two tongues (13, 16; 14, 15) which project outwardly and obliquely in opposite directions in towards the frame structure; in that when no load acts on the clip, the distance (A) between the free extremities of the tongues exceeds the distance (B) between two neighbouring facade elements (1); and in that when fitting the clip (12) in position, the tongues (13, 16; 14, 15) are deformed elastically and caused to approach one another, whereafter the clip is placed between two neighbouring facade elements and the load on the clip is removed, therewith securing the clip in the frame structure (8) with the tongues (13-16) penetrating the glue layer (7) between the glass sheets, but outwardly of the spacer (4). The invention also relates to an arrangement. |
