Windows can be prepared for either glazing compound or manufacturer's standard metal bead glazing. Factory glazing may be available, consult individual manufacturers. Steel window frames are designed to complement watertight glazing systems. The use of weep holes through glazed areas to drain accidental moisture is not recommended. Weep holes admit wind driven moisture to an otherwise dry glazed surface and create a source for air infiltration. © The Steel Window Institute (2006) Contents are the property of the Steel Window Institute, its members or others who have licensed the information.
