Setting Glazing with a Crane

How you set glass when the glass units are too heavy to lift manually or in a location that can’t be reached through normal methods.

This project at the University of Wyoming, on the American Heritage Building in Laramie, WY, required the removal and replacement of roughly 10 large skylights along with several dozen smaller skylights. The skylights themselves consisted of roughly 10 units of glass that weighed between 300-450 pounds. The roof was being replaced at the same time as the skylights which required the building to be completely enclosed with scaffolding. This scaffolding actually hampered our ability to remove and replace the glass without damaging the new glass. The scaffolding blocked the easier access we’d have without it being in place.

Glass of the Future

Corning has developed an incredible product that is very durable and versatile

Check out this video that shows what we can and will be able to do with glass, now and in the future. I have been hearing that Corning has been working on this for a long time and this is the first I’ve seen of what this new product will be like. Velux had a glass darkening product at one time but it was too expensive and it took too long to darken. I am sure this product will make it’s way into the skylighting world soon!
