Create a huge architectural presence using structural glass walls. Allow Vitro America to help you bring the flexibility of using glass, structural support and creative design together to make a visual statement for any project. Museums, airports and hotels are just a few of the ideal applications for structural glass walls.
Structural Glass Walls
Design Elements
Structural glass walls utilize point supported glass fittings to create glass walls by stacking glass panels.
Glass stabilizers (fins) may be used to provide structural support.
Stainless steel spider fittings provide a total all-glass vision without obstruction and maximum flexibility in design.
Most interior glass walls are designed using 1/2 [12mm] thick fully tempered glass.
Two-sided support requires glass to be supported at head and sill.
Three-sided support is designed adding fully tempered glass stabilizers (fins) to add structural support at the jambs.
