A device for fitting glass facade elements to a building facade, in which the facade elements are glued to profiled sections which are secured to the building facade by means of fastener devices, such as screws. The invention is characterized in that the device includes three parts, a first part (2; 22) intended to be fastened in the facade, a second part (3; 23) which is intended to be glued to the upper edge of the facade element (1), and a third part (4; 24) which is intended to be glued to the bottom edge of the element (1) . The first part (2) includes an upwardly facing channel (7) which is intended to coact with a downwardly extending tongue (8) belonging to the third part (4; 24), and further includes a downwardly extending tongue (9) which extends parallel with the channel (7) and which is located on a lower level than the channel (7) and which is intended to coact with an upwardly open pocket (10) belonging to the second part ( 3; 23). The pocket (10) is provided with a flat glue surface (11) which is intended to be glued to the upper part (12) of a facade element (1). The third part (4; 24) includes a glue surface (13) which is intended to be glued to the bottom part (14) of a facade element (1), the glue surface (13) being parallel with the tongue (8), and further includes a supportive surface (15) which extends at right angles outwardly from the glue surface (13) and against which the bottom edge (16) of a facade element is intended to rest. In a fitted state, the distance from the bottom edge of the tongue (9) of the first part through the bottom (11) of the pocket (10) exceeds the depth of the upwardly facing channel (7). FIG. 5 for publication.
