Glass Housing Profiles
The channel that holds frameless glass and hides the fixing.
Overview
The channel that holds frameless glass and hides the fixing. Everything about it is a tolerance problem: the internal width has to suit the glass thickness plus the setting blocks, and the external corner is at eye level with nothing to distract from it. This is the clearest case for V-grooving in the whole range — a radiused corner on a housing profile reads as a compromise the moment the glass goes in.

Dimensions, tolerances and weights are project-specific. MCS does not publish fixed sizes for made-to-order sections, because the section is set by the substrate, the glass make-up or the panel module it has to suit. Contact MCS for project-specific technical data →
