FEATURES OF GLASSCURTAINS®
GlassCurtains® are a truly innovative product. Comprising a frameless sliding glass panel system.
The glass panels can be fully retracted to one or both sides, providing full functionality without compromising on style.
When closed, they protect the space from wind and rain. The ultra-slim aluminium top and bottom profiles give GlassCurtains® a sleek and elegant look.
NOISE, WIND AND RAIN PROTECTION
GlassCurtains® are safe and provide strong protection against the elements effectively cutting out noise, giving you a peaceful space to relax.
GlassCurtains® meet German DIN 1249 standards, as well as U.S. wind and water standards (DP 50), to withstand a wind load of 250km/hour whilst providing a water tightness of approximately 95%. The gaps between glass panels are only 2mm to 3mm – Translucent polycarbonate rain strips can also be affixed along the thin gap between the glass panels, to achieve even greater water tightness. The surface-mounted tracks are also sealed with silicon to keep out the rain.
GlassCurtains® have been shown to reduce noise by at least 25dB.
WATERTIGHT
In “ASTM Water Penetration” tests for windows, GlassCurtains® were shown to be effective in keepingout water in most rainy conditions. Translucent rain strips can also be affixed along the thin 2mm to 3mm gap between glass panels, to achieve greater water tightness; even in the heaviest of storms.
ELEGANCE UNMATCHED
The ultra-slim aluminium top and bottom profiles give frameless GlassCurtains® a sleek and elegant look, adding a classy touch to your space.
GlassCurtains® are virtually invisible and easily complement your existing design. Because they are frameless, you can enjoy unobstructed views all the time, even when they’re closed.
With our unique opening system, glass panels can be swung open without the use of a “turning arm’, often seen in conventional swing systems. This means you can add curtains and blinds alongside the GlassCurtains®.
SAFE & STURDY
GlassCurtains® are made of 10mm or 12 tempered glass. GlassCurtains® are very sturdy and have been tested in the areas of impact performance, surface compression and fragmentation. In comparison to 8mm glass, the 2-4 mm difference in thickness makes a crucial difference to the sturdiness of the glass panels, especially with panels beyond 210cm in height.
GlassCurtains® meet German DIN 1249 standards, as well as U.S. wind and water standards (DP 50), to withstand a wind load of 250km/hour! You can rest assured that GlassCurtains® are safe and provide strong protection against the elements.
GLIDES EASILY & SILENTLY
No Rollers Or Ball Bearings
Panels glide on self-lubricating Teflon. Our patented Teflon Transport System eliminates the need for ball bearings, which can rust and jam, or rubber wheels that can degrade.
GlassCurtains® are bottom weighted – glass panels sit on sturdy aluminium tracks, instead of being hung from the top. With the weight on the bottom, the glass panels glide easily, quietly, and steadily. No more wobbly panels or squeaky noises.
CUSTOMIZATION
GlassCurtains® can be customized in many ways to suit your needs and tastes. Feel free to visit our showroom to discuss what possibilities are available for your project. As standard we supply 10 or 12mm clear toughened glass. The glass is also available in various tints. The tint is not added to the glass, the glass itself is coloured. We also offer glass that provides thermal and anti-glare qualities.
Standard frames come in Pearl White. You can also choose from a wide variety of alternative powder coat colours to suit your specification at a small additional cost.
