Buildings with glass walls reperesent modernity. Descretly assembled glass plates enable easy plastic formation of shapes and sensation of lightness. 

The following glass systems can be distinguished:
1. Assembled on aluminium shape grate (dominating horizontal/vertical lines)
Aluminium shapes form column-beam system in which the facades have visible lines of division. Such facades are durable and resistant. Insulation is achieved by continuous thermal spacers and profiled gaskets.
This systems enables erection of walls bent either vertically or horizontally.



2. Assembled pointwise

Glass panels are assembled with steel elements. Inner plates are fixed mechanically. Pins are introduced into the glass. External plate is glued to the structure with constructional silicon.

Such a facade is externally uniform. Seal of the connection of glass and bolts is realised with silicon sealants which additionally increases stiffness of structure.


1. hardened glass
2. hardened and resined glass
3. constructional silicone
4. bolt
5. X-bit


3. Structural glass
In this technology a silicon glue is the only binder bonding a glass panel to the structure of the building.

Double-sided system. Two sides of the glass set are glued to the aluminium frame while the remaining two are fixed mechanically.


1. dilatational tape
2. structural silicon

Four-sided system. All four sides of the panel are glued to the aluminium frame.


1. structural silicone
2. PE filling cord
3. silicon sealant

Glass-rib system. Facade glass panels are sticked to the glass ribs mechanically assembled to the structure of the building.



Glued bolt system. Panels are fixed to the aluminium frame by means of a glued bolt.
