Frameless Engineering
Structural Glazing & Bolted Systems
Engineered planar bolted facades and structural glass fins creating majestic, uninterrupted glass envelopes where glass itself acts as the structural support.
Engineered planar bolted facades and structural glass fins creating majestic, uninterrupted glass envelopes where glass itself acts as the structural support.
"Structural glazing produces seamless expanses of glass creating a stunning façade. The glass actually performs as part of the structure of the building. Structural glass works by using toughened or laminated glass sections fixed to stainless steel spider brackets or glass fins with countersunk bolts, providing an uninterrupted glass surface with minimal framework."
For signature architecture requiring awe-inspiring transparency, bolted structural glass facades push engineering boundaries. By utilizing full-height vertical glass fins and articulated countersunk stainless steel bolts, thermal and wind loads are transferred smoothly throughout the structure without bulky metal framing. Perfect for luxury showroom facades, museum gallerias, and flagship brand pavilions.
