The patented GlassWedge™ consists of a high impact Plastic Wedge Isolator and a high strength Aluminum Wedge. The GlassWedge™ provides the installer with a simpler, cleaner method of setting tempered glass panels in Wagner’s structural shoe moulding. Complete installation instructions and video may be viewed at www.glassrailing.com.
  • GlassWedge™ is available for nominal 1/2" (12mm) and 3/4" (19mm) tempered glass. The system allows for the following variations in glass thickness:
    • For 1/2" (12mm) glass from .470" (11.938mm) to .490" (12.446mm)
    • For 3/4" (19mm) glass from .746" (18.948mm) to .766" (19.456mm)
  • Due to tolerance variances in the production of GlassWedge™ components and tempered glass itself, the GlassWedge™ System may not be suitable for all applications.
  • GlassWedge™ is not to be used with laminated glass.
