A multi-walled glazing panel constructed and arranged for attachment at a side thereof to a support structure, the multi-walled glazing panel including a plurality of horizontal sheet members separated from one another by vertical interconnecting walls, said vertical interconnecting walls defining channels running lengthwise along the multi-walled glazing panel, the multi-walled glazing panel further comprising a reinforcement means disposed in at least one channel adjacent a side at which the panel is constructed and arranged for attachment to a support structure to reinforce said side, and at least one protruding member disposed at either side thereof constructed and arranged to engage with a surface of the support structure.
A method of attaching the sides of a multi-walled glazing panel which includes a plurality of horizontal sheet members separated from one another by vertical interconnecting walls, said vertical interconnecting walls defining channels running lengthwise along the multi-walled glazing panel, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing the multi-walled glazing panel with at least one protruding member engageable with a surface of the support structure;
- inserting at least one reinforcement means into at least one channel located at a side of the multi-walled glazing panel;
- and
- attaching the multi-walled glazing panel to a support structure.
In combination,
- a support structure for a multi-walled glazing panel;
- and
- a multi-walled glazing panel attached at a side thereof to the support structure, the multi-walled glazing panel including a plurality of horizontal sheet members separated from one another by vertical interconnecting walls, said vertical interconnecting walls defining channels running lengthwise along the multi-walled glazing panel, the multi-walled glazing panel further comprising a reinforcement means disposed in at least one channel adjacent a side at which the panel is attached to the support structure, and at least one protruding member disposed at either side thereof which engages with a surface of the support structure.
