Glazing Channels & Accessories

How wide are glass glazing channels?
What is a hat channel used for?
What is the difference between wet glaze and dry glaze u-channels?
The primary difference between wet and dry glaze u-channels is how the glass is secured and the ideal applications for each type. Wet glaze u-channels use a silicone sealant to hold the glass in place, creating a strong and weather-resistant bond. Glaziers use these channels for exterior applications, including storefronts, retail entrances, outdoor glass balustrades on balconies or terraces, and large glass facades in office buildings.

In contrast, dry glaze u-channels rely on pre-fitted gaskets or vinyl inserts to secure the glass, allowing for faster and cleaner installations. Dry glaze systems are well-suited for interior applications, such as office partitions and interior glass railing systems on staircases in hotel lobbies or commercial buildings, where polished aesthetics and time efficiency are priorities.
