13. A glazing system continuously extending around a window opening, said window opening including a perimeter surface and an interior side and an exterior side to sealably receive and retain a lite therein, said system comprising:
-
a nonembedded receiver adapted to be secured on or above the perimeter surface of said window opening, said receiver having a generally U-shaped channel open towards said window opening interior; means for fastening said receiver to said perimeter surface; an elastomeric gasket, said gasket having a lite-receiving channel open towards said window opening interior, a mounting spline and a pair of sealing wings, one of said pair of sealing wings being located on an interior side of said spline, the other of said pair being located on an exterior side of said spline; said spline and said U-shaped channel being sized so that said spline tightly fits into said channel to retain said gasket about said perimeter surface and maintain said pair of sealing wings in sealing relationship against said perimeter surface. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21)
