Key Features
Design and Aesthetics
- Minimalist appearance with no visible frames, creating a seamless and elegant look.
- Enhances natural light flow and provides an uninterrupted view.
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Glass Specifications
- Typically made from tempered (toughened) or laminated safety glass to ensure durability and safety.
- Thickness ranges from 10mm to 21.5mm, depending on the height, wind load, and application requirements.
- Can include low-iron glass for enhanced clarity and reduced green tint.
Structural Support Options
- Base Channels: Glass panels are secured into floor-mounted aluminum or stainless-steel channels.
- Spigots: Small, standalone clamps that hold the glass in place.
- Point Fixings: Bolted systems that attach glass panels to adjacent structures.
- Embedded Systems: Glass is embedded directly into the floor for a truly frameless look.
Safety Features
- Complies with international building codes and standards (e.g., EN 12600, BS 6180, ASTM standards).
- Laminated glass prevents shattering into dangerous shards.
- Handrails (optional) can be added for additional safety.
Applications
- Residential Spaces
- Balconies, staircases, terraces, and pool enclosures.
- Commercial Projects
- Office spaces, shopping malls, and public buildings.
- Outdoor Areas
- Garden boundaries, rooftop terraces, and viewing platforms.
Advantages
- Aesthetics: Modern and luxurious appearance.
- Transparency: Maintains visibility and openness.
- Durability: High resistance to weather, corrosion, and impacts.
- Low Maintenance: Easy to clean and maintain.
- Flexibility: Can be customized to fit various architectural designs.
Technical Considerations
- Load Requirements: Must withstand horizontal loads as per building regulations.
- Wind Load: For outdoor applications, glass thickness and anchoring must account for wind pressure.
- Height Restrictions: Typically ranges from 900mm to 1100mm depending on application and regulations.
- Installation: Requires precision to ensure alignment, structural stability, and compliance with safety standards.
Cost Factors
- Glass Type and Thickness: Laminated or low-iron glass increases costs.
- Support System: Embedded systems are more expensive than spigots or base channels.
- Additional Features: Handrails, lighting, and edge treatments add to the cost.
- Location and Installation Complexity: Accessibility and site conditions affect installation expenses.
SYSTEM SELECTION
System selection according to the project
There are a few important points to consider when choosing a system according to the project. These can help you optimize both your budget and the requirements of your project:
- Determining the Needs of the Project
Clarify criteria such as the size of the project, the purpose of use, durability requirements, and aesthetic expectations. These criteria form the basis for choosing the right system. - Evaluating the Technical Specifications of the System
Compare the technical specifications of the system you are considering to the requirements of your project. For example, details such as energy efficiency, insulation properties, or ease of installation should be compatible with the project. - Cost Analysis
When choosing a system, evaluate not only the initial cost but also total costs such as long-term maintenance, energy savings, and lifespan. - Price/Performance Comparison
Determine the most suitable one in terms of price/performance by comparing existing brands and systems with similar features.
If you are undecided about choosing a system, consulting our company and receiving project-specific recommendations will be a great advantage for you. If you want us to make special recommendations for you, you can share more information about your project! 😊 Cephe@cephe.com.tr
