A corner formation is made in an architectural glazing strip that has an elastomer-encased spring material formed of a resilient wire element in a transverse pattern of zig-zag loops with the strip having an anchorage edge and a glass-engaging edge. The strip is cut inward from the anchorage edge between the pair of wire loops that occur at the corner, and the cut is stopped at the wire extending between the pair of loops. Then the strip is bent 90.degree. at the corner to open a substantially square space between the wire loops. A resilient element is placed in this space and has the transverse cross-sectional shape of the spring material, and an elastomeric material encases the resilient element and is secured to the strip around the corner. The result provides an even and uniform corner having resilient pressure all the way around the corner.
A corner formation for an architectural glazing strip having a spring material formed of a resilient wire element in a transverse pattern of zig-zag loops encased in an elastomeric cover to have an anchorage edge region and a glass-engaging edge region, said wire loops extending from said anchorage edge region into said glass engaging edge region, said corner formation comprising:
