Abstract
The present invention relates to a glazed element with improved water tightness comprising a fixed frame, at least one gasket Ga and at least one frameless inwardly openable casement wherein the casement comprises a multiple glazing comprising in external position a glass pane including at least one thermally treated glass sheet, the glass pane has an overall bow on at least its bottom edge of at most 3.0 mm/m and the gasket Ga is such that it is in continuous contact with the fixed frame and with at least the bottom edge of the glass pane, when the glazed element is in closed position.
Claims18
A glazed element for a building comprising a fixed frame, at least one gasket Ga and at least one frameless inwardly openable casement,
- wherein
- the casement comprises a multiple glazing comprising an external glass pane configured to face an exterior of the building comprising at least one thermally treated glass sheet,
- the gasket Ga extends along a periphery of the casement and is located between an external face of the glass pane and the fixed frame,
- the glass pane has an overall bow on a bottom edge of the glass pane of at most 3.0 mm/m, measured according to EN 1863-1:2011, and
- the gasket Ga is such that the gasket Ga is in continuous contact with the bottom edge of the glass pane and a portion of the fixed frame contiguous to the bottom edge of the glass pane, when the glazed element is in a closed position.
A glazed element for a building comprising a fixed frame, a gasket Ga and at least two frameless inwardly openable casements Ca and Cb with no mullion between them,
- wherein
- each casement comprises a multiple glazing comprising an external glass pane configured to face an exterior of the building including at least one thermally treated glass sheet,
- the gasket Ga extends along a periphery of the fixed frame and is located between an external face of each glass pane and the fixed frame,
- each glass pane has an overall bow on a bottom edge of the glass pane of at most 3.0 mm/m, measured according to EN 1863-1:2011,
- the gasket Ga is such that the gasket Ga is in continuous contact with a bottom edge of each glass pane and a portion of the fixed frame contiguous to the bottom edge of each glass plane, when the glazed element is in a closed position,
- a gasket Gc is fastened to a vertical edge of casement Ca contiguous to casement Cb,
- the glass pane of casement Cb has an overall bow on a vertical edge of the glass pane contiguous to casement Ca of at most 3.0 mm/m, measured according to EN 1863-1:2011, and
- the gasket Gc is such that the gasket Gc is in continuous contact with said vertical edge of the glass pane of casement Cb and a contiguous vertical edge of casement Ca.
