Framing applications for fully tempered heavy glass doors and entrances vary depending upon specific job requirements such as the size of opening, reinforcement to meet wind load conditions, hardware and the design of basic structure. Aluminum channels 3-mm(1/8-inch) thick are used often as perimeter framing when surrounded by solid structure (wood, masonry, marble, concrete, etc.).
