Glass Roofing represents the most exciting way to maximize the vertical potential of urban property. Glass roofs and Skylights can be designed with either conventional framework or custom made framing. The external surfaces are flush for stylish appearance and for easy maintenance. Tempered or heat strengthened single glazed or double glazed glasses with PVB laminated glass on the inner layer are used for glazing. Custom made EDPM gaskets are used for fixing the glass which acts as a drainage system that drains condensation water penetration through any joints. Roofs can be made of glass and steel or a steel and tensile membrane.

Canopies is a combination of glass, stainless steel or mild steel work and are an integral part of contemporary architectural design. Bespoke designs with flush glass designs, supported from structural glass, tubular steel work or stainless steel cables and tie-rods. Flat or curved configurations in both glass and aluminium composite panels are attained. Our specifically designed structure are pre fabricated that can be connected at site using normal tools. The frames can be of mild steel in painted finish or powder coated. Tension cables and rods are used for increasing the ambiance and strength which gives transparency in design with minimum framing. Canopies can be made with glass and steel or steel and membrane.

Canopy and Skylight systems perform a headline act combining custom metal work with our spectacular laminated glass structures. These systems offer a point-supported method of fixing glass panels. Canopy systems provide the practicality of sun and weather protection, in addition to the beauty of an eye-catching architectural extension of the building facade. Etched designs can be applied to the glasses.

The use of structural glazing in commercial buildings has increased in line with architects' and clients' vision and desire for ever more creative and eye-catching building facades. The most popular method of manufacturing these units is to bond the glazing to the frame using structural silicone Structural glazing is a system of bonding glass to an aluminum frame of curtain wall utilizing a high-strength, high-performance silicone sealant. These silicone sealants are specifically designed and tested for structural glazing. In this dynamic wind loads are transferred from the glass, by the structural silicone sealant, to the perimeter structural support.

In this system there will not be any aluminum member visible from outside. You will see a groove running horizontally & vertically. In this system the glass is held with the help of structural sealant. It increases the thermal efficiency of buildings because the exterior exposure of metal framing is either reduced or eliminated, It reduces or eliminates water and air infiltration, It reduces the potential for thermal breakage of glass.

Aluminum Composite Panel Cladding (ACP) is a widely-used term, describing flat panels that consist of thermoplastic core bonded between two aluminum sheets. ACPs are frequently used for external cladding of buildings (building facades). The main advantage of ACP is that, it is very rigid and strong, despite of its light weight. Due to the ability of painting the aluminum in any colour, ACPs are produced in a wide range of metallic and non-metallic colours as well as patterns that imitate other materials, such as wood or marble. Applications of ACPs are not limited to building's external cladding; they can be used in any cladding application, partitions, false ceilings etc. Aluminum composite panel are available in various thickness and various brands. ACP sheet are excellent in finish and are PVDF coated which is up to 35 micron. It can be bent, cut, drilled, punched and easily shaped into complex shapes. Easy installation and fabrication save cost and time periods of construction.

Point-fixed structural glazing systems are the ideal solution for architects striving to achieve maximum light and transparency within large areas. In this system glass units bolted together by means of stainless steel spiders, sometimes supported by glass fins, wire rope technology, Tension rod or some steel truss structures.
This provides a frameless glazing façade through a web of glass sheet sealed together from the building structure. The joints between the panes of glass are sealed with a silicone sealant.
Depending on the choices made by the architect, the point-fixed structural glass wall can be supported by different types of structure: steel frame, structures made of stainless steel cable, glass beams, structures incorporating cross-braces, etc. The system featuring Toughent Glass, laminated glasses, and insulating glass.

Unitized curtain walls entail factory fabrication and assembly of panels and may include factory glazing. These completed units are hung on the building structure to form the building enclosure. Unitized curtain wall has the advantages of: speed; lower field installation costs; and quality control within an interior climate controlled environment. The economic benefits are typically realized on large projects or in areas of high field labor rates.

A curtain wall system is an outer covering of a building in which the outer walls are non-structural, but merely keep the weather out and the occupants in. As the curtain wall is non-structural it can be made of a lightweight material, reducing construction costs. When glass is used as the curtain wall, a great advantage is that natural light can penetrate deeper within the building. The curtain wall façade does not carry any dead load weight from the building other than its own dead load weight. The wall transfers horizontal wind loads that are incident upon it to the main building structure through connections at floors or columns of the building. A curtain wall is designed to resist air and water infiltration, sway induced by wind and seismic forces acting on the building and its own dead load weight forces.

Curtain-wall systems are typically designed with extruded aluminum members, although the first curtain walls were made of steel. The aluminium frame is typically infilled with glass, which provides an architecturally pleasing building, as well as benefits such as day lighting. However, parameters related to solar gain control such as thermal comfort and visual comfort are more difficult to control when using highly glazed curtain walls. Other common in fills include: stone veneer, metal panels, louvers, and operable windows or vents.

Curtain walls differ from store-front systems in that they are designed to span multiple floors, and take into consideration design requirements such as: thermal expansion and contraction; building sway and movement; water diversion; and thermal efficiency for cost-effective heating, cooling, and lighting in the building.

Now a day's building envelopes is an integral part of modern architecture. Even old buildings are covered with glass and composite panels. Curtain wall, Structural glazing and composite panels are generally used for enveloping the building. The main objective is to give the building a new look thus increasing the property value. Other advantages lies in weather tightness, Easy maintenance, long durability, aesthetic look, reduction of solar energy remittance etc.
