As glass gets larger understanding sightlines, wind loads, glass strength and deflection becomes more critical. Viracon can help you with the calculations of these important values to ensure a safe and successful project. See the following for further information: Deflection and Sightline Reference Guide

BIG Glass creates additional factors that should be considered. Since oversized units may be larger, heavier and thicker than standard units, care must be taken during shipping, storing and installation of oversized units. The proper jobsite equipment and glazing system components are critical to a safe and successful project utilizing oversized units.
