Frameless glass for balconies and loggias (Part 2)

May 26th, 2007

Significant advantage of frameless glass relies in absence of the problems connected with periodic clearing - it is easy to wash each shutter, not being bent through a handrail of a balcony and not endangering you life and health.
Thus, frameless glass does not require specific maintenance service. You will have only to grease moving parts with a silicone spray.
In the closed position frameless system reliably protects a balcony from a wind and a rain, and noise level in the premises adjoining a loggia, decreases on 15-20 dB (noise of leaves).
By the way, the similar type of frameless glass can be also applied as the device for transparent and translucent frameless glass partitions (for example at offices, motor shows, showrooms and other premises where, in opinion of the customer, their transformation is expedient).
The most part of frameless systems is created so that filling had at least double safety factor. However, if it will appear insufficiently qualitative, shutters will start to jingle.
The problem is that the basic wind loadings perceives not glass, but places of its fastening in a structure. Thus constructive rigidity of unit of fixing of glass in a structure decreases. The “Doubtful” shutter becomes a source of noise, and in glass, in points of its mechanical fastening, undesirable concentration of pressure can develop.
It is natural, that these functional features should impose the certain print on cost characteristics of the products completing frameless system. Therefore, excepting initially unfair manufacturers, it is possible to speak that bad frameless systems are not present. There is their wrong application, frequently connected with unjustified economy. Therefore, at a stage of a choice it is very important to define the quality of the offered system, to study the accompanying documentation and to track the technology of futher installation.
