ABSTRACT:
A glazing system enabling the utilization of two chemically incompatible sealing materials in the same glazing system is disclosed. The glazing system includes a frame member secured to a building to support the glazing structure. Generally the frame member defines a ribbon window opening in the building. A pair of resilient polymeric gasket strips are coupled with the frame member and positioned such that they are parallel with one another and at a desired distance apart. A channel for receiving glass is formed in each of the gaskets. The channels oppose one another to receive the horizontal edges of the glass. A plurality of mullions are positioned substantially perpendicular to the gaskets and are coupled with the frame member in the ribbon window opening. A plurality of glass lites are positioned in the glass channels and nest on the mullions. A member may project from each mullion and is sandwiched between adjacent glass lites to form a gap between adjacent glass lites. A plurality of separating members are positioned in the channels adjacent the projecting members such that the separation members are positioned opposing one another in the gasket opposing glass channels between the adjacent glass lites. The separation members extend a desired distance from the gaskets. A plurality of liquid sealant beads are positioned in the gaps and abut the separation members such that the sealant beads are prohibited from contact with the gasket strips.
