Glass is an important component of a U-shaped glass curtain wall. Because it is fragile, proper handling and protection are essential.

The storage area must be well ventilated, especially at high temperatures or where temperatures fluctuate. If indoor storage is not possible, cover the glass with tarpaulin or plastic to protect it from wind-driven rain and water ingress. Open the covering regularly to check for condensation.

The glass must be covered with an opaque protective cover, must not be placed directly in the Sun to preserve. All types of glass should be stacked at an angle of 5 ° -7 ° perpendicular to the vertical, and leaning on a solid straight wall. All top and bottom edges of glass should be covered with linoleum and separated by protective cardboard or other linoleum. If the glass is flat, the surface must be covered with linoleum to prevent dust, grit glass or other contaminants.

Protection during construction: mark glazed areas with brightly colored flags or ribbons placed near the glass or attached to window frames, side posts, or sills. Do not let ropes touch the glass or apply marks or paint directly to its surface. If welding, cutting, sandblasting, or other potentially damaging work takes place nearby, protect the glass with a securely fitted plywood or plastic barrier.
