Abstract
A system and method is provided for attaching glass panels to a substructure. Embodiments include a blocking extending along a length of a structural element and attached to a first portion of a surface of the structural element. Flashing covers the blocking, and has a flange extending outward from a lower edge of the blocking to contact a second portion of the surface of the structural element. An elastic flange gasket covers an outer edge of the flange and contacts an inner main surface of a glass panel. A glazing cap extends along the blocking, having an elastic cap gasket for contacting the outer main surface of the glass panel. The glazing cap extends over and attaches to the blocking for retaining the glass panel between the flange gasket and the cap gasket, and for sealing the glass panel, the flange gasket, and the cap gasket.
