Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure provide an overhead door panel. The overhead door panel includes a pair of parallel glass panes, a metal frame with parallel lateral stiles oriented perpendicular to the pair of parallel glass panes, a first seal system located at a first lateral stile, and a second seal system located at a second lateral stile, wherein the first seal system and the second seal system engage with at least one glass pane of the pair of parallel glass panes and a lateral stile of the parallel lateral stiles of the metal frame such that the first seal system and the second seal system are between the at least one glass pane and the lateral stile.
Claims16
An overhead door panel, comprising:
- a pair of parallel glass panes;
- a metal frame with parallel lateral stiles oriented perpendicular to the pair of parallel glass panes;
- a first seal system located at a first lateral stile;
- and
- a second seal system located at a second lateral stile, wherein the first seal system and the second seal system engage with at least one glass pane of the pair of parallel glass panes and a lateral stile of the parallel lateral stiles of the metal frame such that the first seal system and the second seal system are between the at least one glass pane and the lateral stile, wherein each stile of the parallel lateral stiles comprises a central extrusion, wherein the central extrusion is spatially separated from the pair of parallel glass panes by a spatial separation while engaging with the pair of parallel glass panes, the spatial separation comprising the first seal system and the second seal system, wherein the central extrusion comprises:
- a cross-section profile comprising a planar structure having an upper side and a lower side, wherein the upper side further comprises a first engagement structure, a second engagement structure, and a third engagement structure, wherein the third engagement structure comprises a pair of spatially distanced extensions capable of engaging with and holding a first polymer extrusion and a second polymer extrusion of the first seal system or the second seal system.
An overhead door panel comprising:
- a first glass pane;
- a second glass pane;
- and
- a central extrusion to spatially separate the first glass pane and the second glass pane, wherein the central extrusion is connected to the first glass pane by a first polymer extrusion and the second glass pane by a second polymer extrusion, wherein the first polymer extrusion is engaged with the second polymer extrusion to form a first seal system.
