ACCESSORIES FOR GLAZINGS
Treatments for exterior use
When glazed doors are used in locations exposed to direct UV rays from sunlight or internal lighting, special glass protection and coloration/paint is available to adapt to this environment. The side of the glass that requires special treatment will need to be specified (the glazing bead side or the opposite side). If left unspecified, the special treatment will be applied to the side opposite to the glazing bead (hinged side). A sticker will be applied to indicate the protected side for purposes of assembly and installation.
Glazed doors for external environments should always be protected from water.
Film
To reduce or prevent external visibility while maintaining optimal internal visibility, all fire-rated glasses may be equipped with opacifying or covering films (black or white) that have been designed for the purpose. The side of the glass that requires special treatment will need to be specified (the glazing bead side or the opposite side).
If left unspecified, the film will be applied to the opposite side of the glazing bead (non-hinged side).
