ABSTRACT:
A light transmitting roof, skylight or interior floor/ceiling includes plural panels each having a light transmitting plate assembly formed of a glass plate laminated to a plastic plate having a lower thermal conductivity or a glass plate supported on a grid of glass blocks. The glass and plastic plates are secured together by a silicone adhesive disposed in a peripheral ledge or channel formed in one of the plate members. A perimeter frame is secured to the plate assembly, is inset from the side edges of the plate assembly and may include a grid of divider members for aesthetic and light transmitting purposes or for supporting the glass blocks. The perimeter frame is secured to the laminated plate assembly by angle members and the frame is secured to a substructure such as a grid of beams by respective angle members. Alternatively, the frame supports the glass blocks, rests on the beam grid and the glass plate has a depending perimeter guide member which locates the glass plate with respect to the frame and a thermal barrier member disposed around the periphery of the frame. The panels are disposed directly adjacent to each other and in sealing engagement by peripheral resilient seals.
