Construction and Renovation of Existing Buildings

When renovating existing buildings, glass partitions offer a precise solution for office renovations. They bring natural light deeper into the floor plan, define spaces without making them feel cramped, facilitate flexible changes in use, and—when properly designed—meet even the highest standards for safety and sound insulation. Key considerations include workplace regulations, safety guidelines for glass, and overall acoustic planning.

GM TOPROLL® 15/24 vs Wind Load

Large-format, frameless sliding glass systems are a powerful design tool for architects and planners: maximum transparency, clean lines, and flexible openings. In practice, however, it is not just aesthetics that matter, but above all the stresses encountered in everyday building use. This is precisely where wind becomes a key factor. The larger and taller the glazing, the greater the wind pressure and wind suction acting on the glass, suspension, guides, and mounting points.
