Frameless glass for balconies and loggias (Part 1)

May 23rd, 2007

The system of frameless glass for balconies and loggias is considered as the most advanced technology. This technically elegant design has been thought up and fulfilled by Finns in the seventieth years of the last century.
What is it?
For the better understanding, how the system of frameless glass is arranged, you should imagine a structure established on a plate of the top balcony which to within 2 mm repeats its form. In this structure lasses move on special mobile loops.
The structure is rigidly fixed (by means of bolts) in concrete, and the bottom structure carries out the function of directing.
Ready made frameless balcony looks as a solid wall from tempered proof glasses. It does not require strengthening various expensive films, and at crushing it scatters on fine not sharp cubes, that reliably provides safety of people from the cuts happening in case of usual glass.
Thickness of such glass depends on height of the spaces: if it is above 2 m, the glass of 8 mm thickness is used and if it is below - 6-millimetric glass is applicated. On width the glass shutter can vary from 60 up to 80 cm, depending on the size of a balcony.
At installation, joints of glasses are closed by the thin transparent interglass sealant interfering hit on a balcony of water and a snow, promoting raised sound - and temperature isolation.
In manufacture elements of frameless glass are made of durable materials - aluminium details are painted with the method of powder misting, and stainless steel is used as fixture.
