Why choose guillotine glass?
- Stop the glass at any height; ventilate from the top without feeling the wind.
- When open, the panes stand side by side and act as a glass balustrade.
- Closed, it gives sound, heat and water insulation; the insulated-glass model is more comfortable in winter (does it let the cold in?).
- Extendable side rails allow glass replacement or alterations without dismantling the system.
Points to watch
- Façades wider than 4000 × 3000 mm are split into modules.
- It needs an electrical connection; see motor, maintenance and faults.
- Clarify the building management plan, owners' approval and municipality in advance (permit guide).
