Few things can match the aesthetics of a glass facade. Glass facades are timeless, elegant and modern at the same time. The realisation of a glass facade brings with it various challenges, but these can be easily overcome nowadays. When choosing the construction, there are various options for glass facades. However, the combination of steel and glass in such facade systems is particularly suitable. The contrasting materials complement each other perfectly: the openness and transparency of glass, together with the robustness and reliability of steel.
What are steel glass facades?
The structures consist of a steel frame into which the glass panels are clamped.
There are various construction options, for example a mullion and transom construction. Due to the high load-bearing capacity of the steel, even larger spans can be realized without any problems. This means that this type of construction can also be used to create very large glass surfaces with narrow supporting elements and a shallow construction depth. Depending on the requirements, different types of glass can be used to cover requirements such as soundproofing, insulation or security.

Advantages of steel glass facades
Durability
Steel facades are fundamentally resistant. With the right glass and the combination with steel, durable glass facades can be created. They require relatively little maintenance to maintain their look over a long period of time. In addition, the design with a glass facade is timeless. Your building will retain a modern and elegant appearance for years to come.
Energy efficiency
By using insulating glazing, the steel glass facade can keep out the cold and weather in winter, while keeping the inside pleasantly warm. In summer, excessive heat is kept away from the interior. This not only provides comfort, but also saves on air conditioning costs. The glass facade also provides natural lighting for your rooms. Here too, energy can be saved on artificial lighting.
Versatile
The combination of steel and glass gives you a great deal of design freedom. The stability of the steel can bear heavy loads and therefore also allows larger glass elements. The construction of a glass roof is also possible with steel and glass. Steel glass facades are also very versatile in terms of functionality. Various requirements such as sun protection, security, insulation and energy efficiency can be implemented in this way.

On the one hand, the materials are decisive here. Insulating glazing and heat-insulating glass ensure that all energy-saving requirements can be met. We have long-standing partners from whom we obtain these materials of the highest quality. Correct installation also makes a difference.

In order to enjoy all the advantages of the contrasting materials, the right construction is crucial. Glass facades can be realized with a mullion and transom construction, among other things. The panes are clamped into a system of mullions and transoms. In so-called structural glazing facades, the glass elements are bonded to the support system to create a curtain-type glass facade.
