Glazing
8 Planitherm 4S tempered / 16 WE Argon / 5+5 laminated
Project approach

Large glass surfaces, installed as part of the architecture.

The challenge

Wide openings across the upper floor called for large glass panes, clean aluminium sightlines and a controlled installation sequence on an active construction site.

The solution

Yawal TN 77 N and DP 180 systems were coordinated with the specified insulated glass units. Large-format panes were positioned using a crane-mounted vacuum lifter to control handling, alignment and installation.

Installation in motion

Large-format glazing, positioned directly at the opening.

Vacuum-assisted positioning of a large insulated glass unit.
Crane transfer and alignment at the upper-floor opening.
Final positioning of the glazing within the aluminium frame.
Specification

Two Yawal systems and a solar-control glass build-up.

01

Yawal TN 77 N

Thermally insulated aluminium window and door system used for fixed and opening elements of the envelope.

02

Yawal DP 180

Sliding aluminium system for large glazed openings, developed around generous glass area and everyday operation.

03

Planitherm 4S glazing

8 mm tempered Planitherm 4S / 16 mm warm-edge Argon cavity / 5+5 laminated inner pane.

Vacuum lifting equipment handling a large insulated glass unit
Installation

Large panes require controlled handling.

The glazing sequence was planned around access and pane dimensions. A crane manipulator and vacuum lifting equipment allowed the glass to be transferred directly to the openings with controlled positioning.
