Installing heat soaked railing glass requires precision and careful handling to ensure a secure and safe installation. Here are the general steps to follow:
Prepare the area: Clear the area where the glass railing will be installed. Ensure that the supporting structure, such as posts or brackets, is in place and properly secured.
Measure and order the glass: Measure the dimensions of the railing area accurately to determine the size and quantity of the glass panels needed. Order the heat soaked glass panels from a reputable supplier or manufacturer, ensuring they meet the required safety and quality standards.
Gather the necessary tools and equipment: Collect all the tools and equipment needed for the installation, such as suction cups, glass setting blocks, a silicone sealant, a caulking gun, and safety gear like gloves and safety glasses.
Inspect the glass: Before installation, carefully inspect each heat soaked glass panel for any visible defects, such as cracks, chips, or scratches. If you notice any issues, contact the supplier or manufacturer for a replacement.
Position the glass panels: With the help of a partner, carefully position the heat soaked glass panels onto the supporting structure. Use suction cups to lift and maneuver the glass panels into place, ensuring they align properly with the desired configuration and spacing.
Use setting blocks: Place setting blocks beneath the glass panels to provide stability and prevent direct contact with the supporting structure. These blocks also help to distribute the weight evenly and reduce the risk of stress points.
Secure the glass panels: Once the glass panels are in position, secure them to the supporting structure using appropriate methods, such as brackets, clamps, or hardware specifically designed for glass railings. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for the specific installation system being used.
Apply silicone sealant: To enhance the structural integrity and weather resistance of the installation, apply a high-quality silicone sealant to the joints and edges of the glass panels. Use a caulking gun to apply a consistent and even bead of sealant, ensuring complete coverage.
Clean and inspect: Clean any excess sealant or debris from the glass panels and surrounding areas. Inspect the installation carefully, checking for proper alignment, secure attachment, and any signs of damage or instability.
Allow for curing time: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the curing time of the silicone sealant. Avoid any stress or heavy loads on the glass panels during this period to allow the sealant to set and provide optimal strength.
Product performance: Convective heating by homogenizing furnace (hot dip furnace), to minimize chances of failure due to nickel-sulphide breakages. The hot air flow is parallel to the glass surface and flows smoothly between each glass, so that the nickel sulfide α phase is completely transformed into the low temperature stable β phase, then to avoid glass self explosion.

Heat soaked glass is more safe than normal tempered glass, by reducing breakage of tempered glass from Nickel Sulfide Inclusions (NSI).
