July 22, 2003 Page 1 This section addresses NEW stained glass windows comprising stained glass (as an art form), set in a structural window frame and placed in a wall or skylight opening. The stained glass is usually protected on one or both faces with clear glass or plastic protective glazing. The air barrier (air seal) element of the assembly is usually at or near the inner surface of the glazed assembly in a colder weather environment. With multiple panels of glazing, the air spaces between panes may be ventilated with special vent devices, and positioned to achieve an air seal in the correct location within the window assembly based on building enclosure principles.
