The installation of U profiled glass needs to be equipped with aluminum frame and PVC inlay profile. The aluminum frame plays a basic role in U profiled glass glazing. The PVC inlay profile retains insert locate and prevents glass to metal contact. According to different requirements, various installation methods of U profiled glass is available. Use of specific aluminum frame could achieve the goals of beauty, thermally broken and moisture resistance. The following describes six typical installation methods and their corresponding aluminum frame and PVC inlay profile.

1. Double Glazing
The double glazing is the most typical installation method of U profiled glass, with a certain sound insulation and thermally broken effect, which use aluminum frame 980 and 981, inlay profile 980/2 and 981/2.

2. Single Glazing
Compared to double glazing, single glazing uses the same aluminum frame, but dedicated inlay profile 980/1 and 981/1. Different with 980/2 and 981/2, inlay profile 980/1 and 981/1 could make better fix for single shell and furthest dust and pollution to avoid.

3. Double glazing drainage slit
When the U profiled glass is used as an outer curtain, due to the temperature difference between day and night, the cold surface of glass, etc., water vapor in the air will form condensate on the inner surface of glass. In order to allow the condensed water to drain out of the curtain better, Appleton recommends aluminum frame 981, which has a slope and can achieve a good drainage effect.
