Structural Glass Assemblies

Structural Glass Assemblies also know as Suspended Assemblies or Spider Glazing Systems have high impact visually but as they are always specific design solutions do require significant engineering consideration and must still provide a high level of weathering despite contingency in the detailing. Structural glass assemblies can be large or small – from a trophy cabinet to a 100% glass commercial structure – the use of no mechanical fittings is possible. We Laasena are the specialists in engineered structural glass assemblies and have completed some of the most iconic installations in INDIA. Laasena utilise their extensive experience in sourcing proprietary spider fittings and often high performance over sized glass, whilst Laasena undertake the structural engineering and manufacturing – specifically for your customised solution. As structural glass assemblies do not have the benefit of movement joints or seismic receivers like a conventional aluminium framed curtainwall, special consideration must be given to building movement, live load deflections and environment loads such as wind and seismic. As these types of assemblies are often installed in areas of high density people movement, ie emergency egress pathways where human safety is paramount, it is imperative that they are engineered accordingly and that the glass specified is appropriate for overhead situations. Our in-house glass engineers are capable of helping design and engineer a solution for you and can provide Producer Statements 1 (Design), 2 (Design Review), 3 (Construction) & 4 (Construction Review) as required for client and or council compliance.
