Swedish term or phrase: fribärande isolerglas med två upplagda sidor alternativt fyrsidigt upplagda
This sentence pops up in an otherwise rather general brochure. Waaay beyond my expertise... Would be most grateful if experts in the field of structural glazing would take pity and weigh in on the matter. The full sentence reads: Testet omfattar flertalet systemkombinationer med såväl aluminium-, stål- och glasstomme samt fribärande isolerglas med två upplagda sidor alternativt fyrsidigt upplagda.
My very best guess is: The test involves most system combinations, including aluminum, steel and glass structural frames, as well as two-sided or four-sided structural glazed curtain wall.

According to the recent correction, my suggestion is: The test involves most system combinations, including aluminum, steel and glass frames, as well as self-supporting insulated glazing, with double or quadruple glazing/panes.

  -> Jag misstänkte detta, dvs. att det är sjävla glaset som är antingen double eller quadruple glazed. Min lexikon är nog lite out of date! Hur skulle du formulera meningen då?
