Glass Facades

In modern architecture, silicon facade systems or transparent/spider facade systems are frequently used in facade glazing. In silicone facade systems, glass sheets are adhered, screwed and fixed in accordance with DIN 51376 and ISO 8339 standards with special structural silicone meterial to aluminum profiles integrated with the carrier elements attached to the building. It is important select the glass to be used in silicone facades, which are assembled using U laths or applied by placing U-shaped mounting apparatus inside the external sealing silicone material, in accordance with the purpose and design. Tempered external glass is used on silicone facades, and laminated glass products are used mostly for security purposes. In spider facade systems, insulating, grinded tempered laminated glass products are attached to stainless point holders mounted on carrier steel constructions. Special coated glass with a U value of up to 0.5 W/m2K can be used in silicone and spider facade systems, with a variety of products that can add both heat and solar control as well as acoustic insulation feature according to preferences.
