Enclose Frameless Glass®

CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE: 1-800-426-8562

Thank you for choosing ENCLOSE Frameless Glass by Haworth.

ENCLOSE Frameless Glass is a progressive-built oce wall system; therefore careful considerations to

the order of component installation must be addressed before the beginning of its installation.

Familiarity of the system wall and door types, brackets and support components with regards to the

customer-expected layout must be clearly understood before deciding where to start and how to

progress.

This installation guide was designed to cover as many variations of wall types, door types and

connection methods possible, while also trying to keep it light and focused. Please read all steps in

their entirety and review the layout to understand each connection and rail options before beginning

the actual install, as some site conditions (oor, ceiling and wall types) and hardware specications

may require an alternate installation method.

Section 1 - Safety

When handling tempered glass use cut resistant gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself. When

staging or placing glass into frames also wear glass sleeves to protect your forearms from sharp edges.

When lifting glass on or o crates/carts always keep the glass panes in an upright position. Never carry

the glass at.

The edges and corners of tempered glass are the most fragile parts. When ooading and staging glass,

all carts and staging surfaces must be padded.

When placing a pane into a frame, care must be taken not to load the weight of the panel on a single

corner. Always lift the glass upright o the cart or staging area, support the pane and lay the bottom of

the pane to the oor while raising the top of the pane to a vertical position.

Observe the glass stamp placement and keep placement consistent to outside bottom right when the

pane is placed within the frame.

Verify that the saw is cutting square and true by using a small square against the table and saw blade.

Make any corrections to the saw as needed.

Ensure that you have selected the correct extrusion prole and proper length (typically 9’, 10’ or 12’)

before proceeding with the cut. Use masking tape and a small square on the part when marking the

desired length.

When cutting any plastic or metal, a full face shield and a long sleeves shirt should be used to protect

eyes, face and forearms from shavings.

Before marking the desired length on the part, slightly trim the factory edge to ensure squareness.

Make sure that the extrusion to be cut is rmly held against the fence and table of saw. Always make sure

that ngers and clothing is nowhere near the blade path and proceed slowly with the cut. Once the cut is

complete, remove any shavings within the channels of the extrusion with a brush or by tapping the part

over a dropsheet or garbage bin.

When cutting plastic clips that will fasten covers and caps to rails, back-cut the plastic clip slightly (1/2”)

to ease installation of the cap/covers.

Cutting Station

Square saw blade before rst cut.

Validate squareness with test cut.

Install appropriate saw blade.

Have the necessary tools at the cutting station.

Clean aluminum debris from saw bed before each cut.

Clean aluminum debris from from parts before assembling.

To avoid aluminum shavings from damaging carpet and walls, a cutting station should be used.

A cutting station can be built by using shipping materials (protective foam or cardboard sheeting) to

protect oors and walls. Commercial saw hoods are also available that will mount to the saw or saw

table, these hoods are preferred as the saw can be easily moved to work areas.

Vacuums can also be used to manage cutting debris but wall/oor protection or a saw hood should also

be used.

The saw table should be elevated to a comfortable working height and be able to safely support long

lengths (12’) of stock material.

Staging Materials & Identication

Using the oor plans and technical drawings, determine the product requirements for each build area.

All products should be kept close by but not directly in the work area. Keep material type (Rails, Panel

Inserts, Brackets, Glass, etc...) grouped together and organized.

Glass should be staged in order of installation and glass stamps should be marked to assist in quick and

proper glass placement.

Before measuring the material to be cut ensure that the product that will receive the cut part is square

and tight to all corresponding material.

When cutting rails or covers/caps all measurements should be made to the millimeter or a 1/16” of an

inch.

All joints should be tight and square to each other. Caps and covers should also be tight to correspond-

ing material with no gaps.

NOTE: Compress

carpet and measure.

Starting Point

Section 3 - Order of Assembly

Layout Review

A thorough review of the installation layout should be conducted prior to the install.

Locations of starters, doors, and transitions should be noted and an installation progression chosen to

avoid situations where the installed framework prevents or leaves inadequate spacing for installation of

glass panes or framed panels.

Attention to the elevation views of the layout will highlight intended connections. This will also help

determining the progression of the installation.

Failure to install the components at the right time could result in having to rework part of the installation

or diculty installing the components.

The following are key areas of considerations to avoid these issues.

Floor Types

Ceiling Types

EFG is capable of, and intended, to be installed on all oor types and substrates.

Due to various oor constructions, the anchoring components are not provided by Haworth. The appro-

priate fastening components and frequency of attachment should be determined by the site engineer.

EFG bottom horizontals may be installed directly on the hard oor surface or attached over the oor

covering.

When taking site measurements during the layout or installation process, variations in oor surface due

to unevenness of the oor or the rmness of the oor covering should be taken into account.

Due to the variety of ceiling construc-

tions and grid types, multiple fastening

solutions are available for ceiling

attachment.

The fastening solution will determine

the “ceiling height” point of reference

since the top position of top horizontal

or top of framed panel may change

depending on the solution.

When taking site measurements during

the layout or installation process,

ceiling type and fastening solution

should be taken into account.

The ceiling height measurement is

dened from the top of the nished

oor to the lowest surface of the ceiling

(this can be the tile, the grid or the

gypsum - see chart for reference).

Panel Types and Levelers

Glass panel types are typically 10mm or 12mm thick and may be tempered or laminated. For glass types,

nishes and panel size, refer to the layout to ensure they are installed in the correct orientations and

locations.

Note: Glass panels are not a

catalogue item and are to be

ordered localy. For best results

with the Glazing Connectors, all

glass edges are to be beveled to

1.5mm (1/16”).

10mm or

12mm 1.5 mm

1.5 mm

Levelers, are used to support and level the glass panels. The levelers may be slid in from the ends of the

rails or inserted down into the channels from the top.
