The term ‘patent glazing’ refers to a non-load bearing, two-edge support cladding system. Its name relates to the number of patents that were taken out in the 19th century for different versions of the system.

Patent glazing bars provide continuous support along two edges of glazing infill panels, and are fixed back to the main structure of the building. This system supports its own weight, and provides resilience to wind and snow loading, but does not contribute to the stability of the primary structure of the building. Patent glazing is a dry glazing system in which the patent glazing bars are drained and ventilated.

The earliest systems were typically manufactured from a steel section, covered with lead. However, the development of aluminium manufacturing during the second world war, and the clear advantage of the material in terms of weight, cost and maintenance requirements resulted in aluminium becoming the main manufacturing material in the 1950’s and 60’s.

Aluminium T or box section patent glazing bars provide continuous support along two edges of the glazing, and are fixed back to the main structure of the building. This system supports its own weight, and provides resilience to wind and snow loading, but does not contribute to the stability of the primary structure of the building.

Channels within the patent glazing bar collect rainwater that penetrates through the outer bead, or condensation that accumulates within the bar, and drain this to the outside.

Typically, aluminium patent glazing bars are available in lengths in excess of 7m, but in the range of 3 to 6m, they may need intermediate support, depending on their section and the weight of the infill panels.
