Detailed Description
Technical Support
The wAllGlass system is supported by an experienced in-house team providing technical support and engineering service to help with enquiries from design stage through to construction stage and installation.
Quality Assurance
wAllGlass façade glass and fins are toughened and heat soak tested to the highest quality standards. All glass is manufactured to current BS standards and advised installation conditions. Bolts, fittings and brackets are manufactured from 316 grade stainless steel and polished to a satin grade finish.
wAllGlass System
Bolt Fittings are designed to give a flush appearance to the external surface of the glass façade and are attached to 'spider type' assembly. All connection brackets/fittings are highly engineered and designed to withstand wind loading (both positive and negative), thermal movement and live/dead load movements.
The wAllGlass system includes attachment plates as standard for fixings to structural support. Where necessary facilities for custom made attachment plates as detailed by the architect are available.
All glass will be fully tempered whether monolithic, laminated or insulated. Thickness of glass will be calculated in accordance with façade design details and specifications. Laminated glass will be manufactured using laid-in-place interlayer bonded by our autoclave heat and pressure process. All exposed edges of glass will be flat polished to a reflective appearance, in some cases notches and cutouts where required will be ground flat with a frosted appearance.

Benefits
The wAllGlass system allows for the complete building envelope to be a frameless façade. With wAllGlass there are no visual obstructions for a seemingly floating glass façade effect.
wALLGLASS offers an economical option on vast areas of a building in place of steel or aluminium curtain walling and has great deal of applications in the interiors of retail and hospitality establishments. Using the aesthetic beauty and simplicity of wALLGLASS in either flat or curved applications allows a designer to make a unique structure and the limitations of colour are eliminated. The stainless steel fittings can be supplied in different finishes by special order and the clean lines and inherent strength of glass can convey a different visual effect to any application.
