Wind-iron

Glass edging in the restoration of monuments, usually for artistic lead glazing, e.g. in churches or cathedrals.
In this process, two flat steels are joined together in parallel. One of them is the supporting bar (larger flat cross section) and the other is the clamping bar. Usually screwed together by several axially arranged threaded ends, so that the glass panes can be framed on one or both sides.
The ends of the supporting rod of such taps are longer and are then mortarised or walled in on the window sides.

MODERSOHN manufactures such clamping or edging constructions for glass panes on stainless steel monuments.
Lean Duplex steels are also suitable here, as they can be better coated or painted due to their ferritic structure. In the case of austenitic materials, such as 1.4301, 1.4404 or 1.4571, a special primer and paint is required because the material is very smooth. There are also round and ring-shaped variants, which are installed on fish bladders on church and cathedral windows.
