Abstract
In a glass-metal structure for a front wall or a roof of a building, comprising a metal framework and glass panels, the framework is formed of hollow elongated main frame sections and hollow elongated crossbar frame sections extending transversally of the main frame sections. Cover plates overlapping the edges of the glass panels are screwed by bolts to the frame sections. Each frame section and each cover plate is provided with anchoring grooves receiving sealing strips. Each frame section has gutters for condensed water and grooves for percolating waters. Each crossbar frame section has a main hollow chamber and an additional hollow chamber formed between the gutters of the crossbar frame section.
