A method of modifying a glazing panel having a box section, wherein the box section has walls of relatively transmissive material and such walls include a first pair of opposed walls, the method comprising the first step of forming a longitudinally-extending sheet of material selected from the group consisting of a heat reflective material, a heat absorbent material and a heat absorbent and reflective material to have a major web portion and a longitudinal fold defining a side portion having a free edge remote from the fold, the second step involving folding the side portion to extend substantially at right angles to the web portion and inserting the so-folded length in the box section so that the major web portion extends between the pair of opposed inner walls of the box, and the free edge of the side portion remote from the fold contacts with another inner wall of the box.
A method of improving the properties of a glazing panel, said glazing panel comprising generally parallel passageways of box sections and having a plurality of inner walls of relatively transmissive material, the method comprising the first step of forming a longitudinally extending generally foldable sheet of material selected from the group consisting of a heat reflective material, a heat absorbent material and a heat absorbent and reflective material to have a major web portion and a longitudinal fold defining a side portion having a free edge remote from the fold, followed by the second step of folding the side portion to extend substantially at right angles to the web portion whereby to make relatively rigid the so folded longitudinal sheet to achieve a folded relatively rigid sheet, followed by the third step of inserting from one end of a passageway to be treated, an elongate portion of said folded relatively rigid sheet to cause the major web portion thereof to extend between opposed inner walls of the passageway and the free edge to contact another inner wall of the passageway.
A glazing panel with comprises a plurality of generally parallel passageways to provide box sections, each box section having walls of relatively transmissive material, at least some of the passageways containing a rigid length of sheet material selected from the group consisting of relatively heat reflective material, relatively heat absorbent material and relatively heat absorbent and reflective material, the length of sheet material comprising a major web portion and side portions extending between opposed inner walls of the box section passageway, and at least one side portion separated from the major web portion by a longitudinal fold line and having a free edge remote from the fold line, the side portion being in contact with another inner wall of the box section.
