TECHNICAL INFORMATION 003E

General information

FLACHGLAS Wernberg offers an off-the-shelf, walk-on glass product called SIGLA®

Walk that complies with DIN 18008 Part 5.

SIGLA® Walk replaces the SIGLA® Trep and SIGLA® walkable product lines.

Applications

SIGLA® Walk is suitable for use in both interior and exterior applications. All glass

edges must be linearly supported on all sides, and the support structure or adjacent

panes protected against impact.

When used in external applications, walk-on glass is subjected to different kinds of

loads. In particular, structural measures should be taken to ensure the glass edges are

fully protected against moisture.

Advantages

The key advantage of SIGLA® Walk is that it requires no additional testing or verifica-

tions in those German states where the DIN 18008 standard has already been incor-

porated into the building regulations. SIGLA® Walk fully eliminates the previous re-

quirement for a time-consuming and costly "case-by-case approval" (ZiE) by the high-

est construction supervisory authority.

Construction

The new SIGLA® Walk product line comprises five glass constructions that are availa-

ble up to a maximum size of 2000 mm x 1400 mm. The maximum permissible im-

posed load is 5.0 kN/m2. SIGLA® Walk is available in the variants Optifloat™ and

Optiwhite™.

Surfaces

SIGLA® Walk can be combined with one of the anti-slip prints of anti-slip class R9 -

R12 offered by Wernberg.



3/12


The anti-slip surface, which can be applied to either single pane safety glass or an-

nealed glass, consists of a special enamel with a rough surface that is baked into the

surface of the glass.

Note: This enamel corresponds to surface wear classes II to III as

specified in DIN EN 154 (Ceramic Tiles and Panels - Determination of

Resistance to Surface Wear) and is therefore unsuitable for high-

traffic areas. Such areas require a class >= IV resistance to surface

wear in accordance with DIN EN 154.

Warning: Screen-printed surfaces are not suitable for use in external

applications.

Warning: If the glass pane becomes damaged, the glass surface

should be immediately cordoned off or covered with a suitable load-

bearing panel.

Screen print with anti-slip enamel: Full-surface anti-slip etching ink paste (translucent), color no. 4000c Anti-slip class R 12

Full-surface anti-slip “Translucent 3” paste, color no. 4020c Anti-slip class R 10

Design P202, anti-slip etching ink paste (translucent), color no. 4000c Anti-slip class R 9

Loads on Ceilings, Stairs and Balconies.

Note that the intrinsic color of the composite glass element may take on the appear-

ance of a green/yellow tint as the pane thickness increases. This color effect is manu-

facturing-related and may not be used as grounds for complaint.

All glass edges are fine-ground (KGN) as standard

a The imposed loads in factories and workshops are generally assumed to be static. Where continuously fluctuating

loads apply, it may be necessary in some cases to classify the loading as predominantly non-static.

b These values represent minimum values. In cases where higher loads are expected, the relevant higher value should

be applied.

c When determining the transmitted forces in rooms containing ceilings with an unsatisfactory lateral distribution of

loads, the specified value may be reduced by 0.5 kN/m2.

d When determining combined loads, the loading of the use category of the relevant building or structural element is to

be applied.

e Should verification of the minimum local load bearing capacity be required (e.g. for structures with an unsatisfactory

lateral distribution of loads), this verification must be separately carried out using characteristic values for the concen-trated load Qk and the uniformly distributed load qk. The contact area for Qk is a square with 50 mm sides.

f For this use category, a structural analysis is required for each specific application and is not included in our services.,

g Brief description of the design:

These composite safety glass panes requiring linear support on all sides are installed as steps in staircases or as plat-forms in places where there is a regular passage of people. The glass panes are classified as walk-on glass elements.

When used as steps or platforms, these structural glass panes are installed in a horizontal orientation. They rest on a support structure located on the underside of the glass pane. When linearly supported, the glass panes are prevented from contacting the substructure by means of an elastic intermediate support made from EPDM rubber.
