Method and apparatus for providing an I. G. unit comprising at least two lites and a spandrel comprising a single lite for use in building construction, and especially for use as part of a building facing. At least one of the lites of the I. G. unit comprises a plurality of glass sections joined by at least one interposed joining member. Each I. G. unit is hermetically sealed and comprises a strength against wind load, atmospheric pressure changes, and other window stressing environmental factors which may be greater than a like sized, conventionally constructed I. G. unit. Each spandrel comprises a lite of similar appearance, construction, and strength against wind load to that of a lite for the I. G. unit whereby mechanical workings of the building between windows are concealed with lites of the spandrels providing substantially the same appearance and patterns as those provided by I. G. units on the visual areas of the building.

Methods and apparatus for applying a coating composition of an alkyl alkoxy silane reacted with a vitreous or siliceous substrate under automation is disclosed. The coating provides water repellence, durability and ease of cleaning to glass or other siliceous surfaces. The coating is formed by applying an excess of an alkoxy solution to a substrate followed by removal of excess solution following reaction of the solution to form a monolayer on the substrate. The apparatus of the invention is an automation conveyor system which facilitates formation of a monolayer of coating composition and removal of excess composition to provide a transparent coating on the substrate at a rate of speed exceeding manual application.

A coating composition of an alkyl alkoxy silane reacted with the surface of a glass substrate is disclosed. The coating provides water repellency, durability and ease of cleaning to a glass or other siliceous surface. The coating is formed by applying an excess of an alkoxy solution containing sulfide acid to a glass surface. After a continuous film of the alkoxy solution has reacted with the glass substrate to cover completely a surface of the substrate, the excess solution is removed. Failure to remove the excess solution immediately upon the formation of the reacted film results in the formation of a greasy, deleterious film which is difficult to remove. Proper removal of the excess coating solution provides a transparent reacted film which protects the substrate. A method for determining the appropriate end point for removing excess solution is disclosed.

A coating composition of an alkoxy silane reacted with the surface of a glass substrate and a cleaning composition and method for cleaning said glass area is disclosed. The coating provides water repellency, durability and ease of cleaning to a glass or other siliceous surface. The coating is formed by applying an excess of an alkoxy solution containing a sulfuric acid to a glass surface with an excess of solution being applied. Preparatory to such coating application, the glass, especially if its surface is a weathered (non-virgin) surface, is cleaned vigorously with a cleaning solution containing water, phosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid.
