What is a point supported glazing system?

Why is laminated glass used in skylights?
Because it can prevent the fall-out of dangerous glass shards following fracture, it is often used as safety glazing and as overhead glazing in skylights. The plastic interlayer also provides protection from ultraviolet rays and attenuates vibration, which gives laminated glass good acoustical characteristics.
What type of glass is used for safety glazing?
Fully-tempered or laminated glass is commonly used for safety glazing. Tempered glass limits the risk of injury by fracturing into small fragments. Laminated glass limits the risk of injury by retaining the fractured glass on the plastic interlayer and thereby limiting fall-out of glass fragments.

Removal and Cleaning
First, remove all of the old rubber seal piping from the door. Use a putty knife to pry out a piece of the seal and then firmly pull out that section by hand. Start in one corner of the shower door and work your way around until all of the piping has been removed.
Caulking for New Piping
Fit the rubber piping along the door's edge to measure the length and then use a utility knife to cut the piping to the appropriate size. Cut the tip of the silicone caulk tube at roughly a 45-degree angle and break the foil at the bottom of the tube.
Applying New Piping
Carefully press the piping into place by pressing it into the caulk. Start in a corner and work around the entire door until all of the rubber piping is in place. Work around the border one more time, finger-pressing the rubber piping into place.
Proper Care of Piped Doors
To hold off damage as long as possible, clean around the edges of the door regularly to prevent mineral and oil buildup that can deteriorate the surface of the rubber seal. Use a compatible shower cleaner regularly to stave off mold and mildew.
Introduction
Glass has been used for thousands of years to allow daylight into our buildings, while providing weather protection. The development of the float glass process in the 1950s allowed the economical mass production of high quality flat glass and virtually all architectural glass is now produced by this process.
Description
The following covers brief descriptions of commonly used glass and glazing components:
Fundamentals
Glass and glazing selection play a key role in determining the overall building's thermal performance. Fenestration thermal performance requirements must be integrated with the design of the building's heating and cooling systems.
Applications
The waterproofing performance of the glazing system depends on the following:

Emerging Issues
Self-cleaning or easy-to-clean glass was recently developed and uses titanium dioxide coatings as a catalyst to break up organic deposits. It requires direct sunlight to sustain the chemical reaction and rainwater to wash off the residue. Anorganic deposits are not affected by the coatings.
