Double glazing beading on the outside?!?
Why do some glaziers fit the beading on the outside of windows? Surely, common sense tells us to put the part you can easily remove on the inside, for security.

Surely most of the outside beading is only cosmetic, the real fixings are
inside, unless of course you have old ones like mine... grin. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

The frames are fitted without glass with the non-removable (plastic welded) beading for the glass on the outside. The glass panels are then fitted from the inside and the removable beading clipped inside to fix the glass in position. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Windows and doors may be glazed internally or externally. Internal glazing means that the glass units are installed with glazing beads inserted into the frames from the inside. External glazing means that the glass units are installed with glazing beads inserted into the frames from the outside. Both are equally secure, provided either security tape or glass locks are installed, with external beading. |

It's not cosmetic, it's what holds the glass in! The modern equivalent of putty.

It's just a solid frame. So why were some made with the removable beading on the outside? |

The amount of force to remove the beading on glazing I've seen would be more than that to break the glass. Granted older type glazing from the 70's and 80's was externally beaded but did not have security measures fitted. Mine is as such, but was fitted in 2010. Any house is a piece of **** to break in to if you put your mind to it, it's just a question of difficulty. Yip, I cracked the glass when I broke into my neighbour's house. External beading but difficult to get out (old and perished plastic - I think fitted about 2000). Didn't stop me gaining access, but I did damage their glass. I was trying to get in to let them in after they locked themselves out. |

Most glaziers use silicone sealant to stick the glass to the frame. It doesn't matter which side the beading is, no manner of levering will get the glass out in one piece. |

External glazing has an internal (rigid) glazing bead / frame and so *would* be insecure if you *only* held the glass in with an external (clipped in) glazing bead. So, they fit the frame, tape the inside of the frame but don't peel the outer protective layer off (/ completely), set the glass on spacers to get it central [1], hold the glass away slightly, peel the tape and then set the glass fully home, then tap in the (external) glazing beads (or various versions of the above). The tape is usually black and very strong (like RC servo tape). Cheers, T i m [1] Or tow / heel if it's a side hung opener etc. |

This makes is virtually impossible to remove the glass from the outside even after removing the beads. You need inside access to prise away the glass from the tape. Or after slicing though the tape with a craft knife etc. Isn't that the other side of the glass? On the inside, yes. External glazing has an internal (rigid) glazing bead / frame and so *would* be insecure if you *only* held the glass in with an external (clipped in) glazing bead. So, they fit the frame, tape the inside of the frame but don't peel the outer protective layer off (/ completely), set the glass on spacers to get it central [1], hold the glass away slightly, peel the tape and then set the glass fully home, then tap in the (external) glazing beads (or various versions of the above). This "external glazing" is confusing me. Could you just stick to "externally beaded"? The glass ain't internal or external, it's in the middle. And why these spacers? Can't they just make the glass the right size in the first place? Sounds like a kludge to me. The tape is usually black and very strong (like RC servo tape). Now that I'm familiar with. Cheers, T i m [1] Or tow / heel if it's a side hung opener etc. |

About as stupid as fitting a Yale lock on the outside of the door! It would be if it was like that but it isn't. It's more like number plates that are held to your car via double sided tape but where the plates self destruct when you try to peel them off. Or external security / anti-tamper tags or ... Nope, my windows you can simply take the beading off the outside using a small flat bladed screwdriver, then lift the glass out. I did it myself. Entirely from the outside. Now if the windows were the other way round, the only possible way to remove the glass would be from the inside. |

wrote: snip Mine was installed in 2005, I removed (and successfully and neatly replaced) the external beading, entirely from the outside, to remove the glass to get a sofa into the house. 5 minutes and a small screwdriver was all that was required. I made no noise at all. Then the glass wasn't taped in and I suggest the windows fitted unprofessionally (or a really crap and insecure design). To remove (rather than break) a properly externally glazed DG unit you would have to fist get inside the window and cut though the tape with a suitable knife (craft / Don Carlos / Moon) and *only then* can you remove the glass unit.

This "external glazing" is confusing me. Could you just stick to "externally beaded"? Nope, I'm using the proper terms for that trade. The glass ain't internal or external, it's in the middle. But it's *fitted* from one side (in or out). And why these spacers? Can't they just make the glass the right size in the first place? Sounds like a kludge to me. It's safer to leave a little room for movement / expansion when making a sealed DG unit and so to set it in the middle of the frame they often use spacers / packers. Packers are also required to set up (toe / heel) a side opening door / window so a gap is still required. The packers can be as thin as 1mm (from memory). The tape is usually black and very strong (like RC servo tape). Now that I'm familiar with. Phew, that's a start then! ;-) Cheers, T i m |

Same if they were securely taped and you then also have less chance of kicking them in or them leaking. Cheers, T i m |

Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: FLUSH the two abnormal sociopathic cretins' latest troll**** -- Typical retarded "conversation" between the Scottish ****** and the senile Ozzietard: Birdbrain: "Horse **** doesn't stink." Senile Rodent: "It does if you roll in it." Birdbrain: "I've never worked out why, I assumed it was maybe meateaters that made stinky ****, but then why does vegetarian human **** stink? Is it just the fact that we're capable of digesting meat?" Senile Rodent: "Nope, some cow **** stinks too." Message-ID: |

Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: FLUSH more troll**** of the two trolling prize idiots -- TYPICAL retarded "conversation" between sociopath Rodent and sociopath Birdbrain from August 26th 2018: Birdbrain: "I have one head but 5 fingers." Senile Rodent: "Obvious lie. You hairy legged cross dressers are so inbred that you all have two heads." Birdbrain: "You're the one that likes hairy legs remember?" Senile Rodent: "The problem isnt the hairy legs, it's the gross inbreeding that produces two headed unemployables like you." Birdbrain: "So why did you mention hairy legs?" Senile Rodent: "Because that's what those who arent actually stupid enough to shave their legs have." Birdbrain: "You only have hairy legs if both of the following are true: 1) You're quite far back on the evolutionary scale. 2) You haven't learned what a razor is for." Senile Rodent: "Only a terminal ****wit or a woman shaves their legs." Birdbrain: "There is literally zero point in having hair all over your body." Senile Rodent: "There is even less point in wasting your time changing what you are born with." MID: |
