Description

Glass fins offer a more open and cleaner look compared to mullions and are most commonly used in shopfronts, internal partitions and large windows. The simplest fin designs include single story fins, dry glazed into glazing channels and the head & sill, and silicone to the façade glass. More complex designs can involve fins multiple stories high, connected together by steel splice plates or where fins and facade glass are hung from the overhead structure.
