Meaning and boundaries
The term covers multiple engineered arrangements and does not establish glass type, hole design, redundancy, load path, or suitability for overhead use.
Why it matters in glass restoration
Holes, notches, fittings, local stresses, permanent loads, and exposed edges require project-specific engineering and conservative referral.
