Where frameless glass supports people, the greatest design challenge is to prevent the panel becoming detached from its supports if it gets broken. The cladding below a foot bridge in Manchester has to be crawled upon for cleaning, and the narrow triangular panels are only supported at their corners. A novel method of anchoring the panels to their supports was devised, using loops of wire rope laminated around the edges. The preparation of the glass and the technique of vacuum bag laminating with ionomer interlayer were keys to success in testing and manufacture.
