Specialty Glazing Vision Control®
Applications
Interior wall applications: 2-panel alcove
In this configuration, a nurse is able to view into 2 separate rooms from the alcove. The walls are angled such that each would comprise a single Vision Control® glass unit, similar to 2 separate punched openings
These borrowed lites are used as observation windows into patient rooms adjacent to each other.

In this 90-degree angled configuration, a nurse is able to view into one single room. Generally, the desk is small and is used as a charting alcove rather than a true station with computer screen.

As with the 2-panel vertical post configuration, this installation involves a thinner break metal stop on interior as well as exterior sides of the corner where the panels meet, minimizing the bulky effect that regular stops would normally present. The remaining 3 sides of each panel (sill, head, opposite jambs where controls are located) can be secured with 3/4” wide x 1 1/8” high stops.

Discreet viewing into the rooms at night-time allow doctors and nurses to observe their patients while providing them with the privacy needed for a good night’s rest.

To maximize viewing into the patient room, panels can be butted up to each other for a streamlined effect. This configuration is a 135-degree station, involving Vision Control® units whose glass lites on the patient room are extend beyond the spacers of the units. This allows them to meet at the corner and be silicone glazed for a clean look. The backside of the glass can have ceramic frit at the vertical edge or be painted with silicone, concealing the empty space inside the corner.
