ABSTRACT:
A glass facade (1) consists of glass plates (2), the top and bottom edge portions of which extend in grooves (4) formed in carrying bars (5a) and containing a permanently elastic sealing compound (7). At least one of the side faces (4a) of each groove (4) is outwardly inclined. Said edge portions have chamfered faces (3a), which face and are substantially parallel to respective ones of said inclined side face (4a).
In order to simplify the assembling of the glass facade and to permit the glass plates to be mounted in various ways, the carrying bars (5a) are connected by side bars (5b) to form frames (5), which can be premounted on respective glass plates (2). Each of said carrying and side bars comprises webs (9), which extend on the inside of the glass plate. Each of said frames comprises mounting flange means (9a), which are integral with said webs (9) and extend away from the glass plate (2) and are mounted on a carrying structure (8) of the facade.
