The use of glass as a modern, transparent, beautiful and safe element is no longer limited to the facades of buildings and windows, and architects tend to use it in interior architecture and interior spaces. Glass and metal structures are formed from the proximity of different glass with metal elements and fittings, and in various forms such as all-glass fences and shelters, shop windows, glass walls, glass wall coverings, Spider facades and glass fins, glass floors and ceilings, and glass stairs run.
Glass fences and shelters
One example of the widespread use of glass in modern architecture is the all-glass fences and shelters, which are increasingly being considered by interior and exterior space designers in today’s architecture. Relying on the strength and durability of glass for such applications has depended on parallel advances in the production of laminated and Securite glass. The importance of metal and non-metallic parts for glass retainers and other adjacent parts of these collections in achieving the general goals in terms of beauty and performance is also equal to the qualitative and technical importance of glass.
Glass units for commercial units
One of the constant needs of architects and business space designers is the right systems to hold storefronts. The desire to use large glass and lines, at least in the field of view of visitors, dictates that the old plans to keep these glasses evolved.
Today, in most modern stores, showcase glass is installed in one of the following ways:
Glass holder frame system
Point connection systems
Anti-theft glass holder system
Special all-glass structures
Advances in engineering knowledge have doubled the structural properties of glass in recent decades, and architects have been able to once again put their old desires on the table of structural engineers to maximize transparency in architectural elements.
Although the mechanical and structural properties of multilayer glass (Securit / Laminate) are much higher than imagined, glass engineering still has a higher level of complexity than classical metal / concrete structures. Before modern methods of structural analysis were developed using powerful computers, it was not possible to design an all-glass bridge or all-glass stairs. This trend has accelerated with the entry of prominent companies and manufacturers into the market.
