GlazingBar CAD

Structural glazing bar design generator for Victorian greenhouse reconstruction

Code & DevelopmentPaid

GlazingBar CAD generates structural drawings for replacement and replica glazing bars in Victorian greenhouse restoration projects, accounting for period-appropriate wrought or cast iron section profiles, glass weight loads, and thermal expansion calculations. Users input original bar cross-section measurements and desired span, and receive fully dimensioned CAD drawings suitable for fabrication by specialist metalworkers. Material quantity takeoffs are automatically calculated from the structural model.
