Structural Glass Walls E n v i s i o n
Create a huge architectural presence using structural glass walls. Allow Vitro America™ to help you bring the flexibility of using glass, structural support and creative design together to make a visual statement for any project. Museums, airports and hotels are just a few of the ideal applications for structural glass walls.

Design Elements Structural glass walls utilize point supported glass fittings to create glass walls by stacking glass panels. •
•
•
Glass stabilizers (fins) may be used to provide structural support. Stainless steel spider fittings provide a total all-glass vision without obstruction and maximum flexibility in design. Most interior glass walls are designed using 1/2 [12mm] thick fully tempered glass. ˝
•
•
Two-sided support requires glass to be supported at head and sill. Three-sided support is designed adding fully tempered glass stabilizers (fins) to add structural support at the jambs.
