Title: Single pane glass 50' up
Post by: Dave Willis on March 04, 2014, 07:17:56 pm

Got to quote a large job this week, absolutely mingin. Large arched windows with wooden frames probably 40 to 50 feet high. Not sure I want to be smacking my brush against single pane glass at that height. What do you reckon?

Hmmm, hot water out of the question also insurance non existent at that height no doubt if any breakage did occur.

At that height it must be tempered glass or laminated I would do it no probs.

I got one like that consisting of ten 30ft panes of glass up to 50ft in height at highest point - no problems :)

Original glass so probably eighty years old?
