Entrance ensembles, stained-glass facades, glass doors and partitions

   Convenient and esthetic entrance ensembles make necessary positive impression when entering office, store, club, theatre, restaurant or clinics. That is “the entrance ensemble” which professionals call a complex of doors, constructions, platforms, pillars, stairs and canopies that hosts and guests see when entering the building. It is also really important to choose the appropriate constructive solution and pick the material that may help to implement such solution.

   From the point of construction the entrance ensemble may be outside the premises and be connected to the building by means of corridor or a platform, or be on the same plane with the premises façade. Modern systems enable making entrance ensembles of different configurations and different types, very reliable and lasting.

   Planar glazing of façades are one of the most expressive forms of glass usage in architecture. Technology of planar glazing appeared not long time ago but now it is one of the most progressive in façade techniques. It consists of light-transparent elements (glass, glass units) adjoining one with the other, not separated by frames or partitions; that’s what makes the difference from shaped systems. Due to lack of frame elements façade and partitions get more transparent.

   A lot of premises, both purposed for office and residence, require redesign, arrangement of separate space (office rooms, meeting rooms, rooms etc.). When used in shopping malls and office centers, elements of glass add some features to image, being a symbol of openness and attracting clients, while in dwelling – it expresses lightness and absence of borders for light penetration.

   Glass doors and partitions gain more popularity and status value also thanks to the fact that they visually expand the premises as well as allow saving power supply due to the light going through.
