Glass facade

It is defined as system for exterior facade coverage separating building’s interior space from the exterior using coverage of invisible glasses. In the second half of 20th century, technology has been accelerated to fulfill this need. The initial idea came up in the London exposition of 1851 in the famous building of Crystal Palace thanks to industrial revolution reforms. However, after a while it went through a gradual progress from glass facades using Lamel vertical baffles and creating framings, semi-framing, frameless to spider Cripe leading to more transparency of glass facades. By emergence of the reflex glass, they are commonly used in high buildings and towers facades. In addition to beauty, using glass facades makes it possible to get the most out of daylight. Moreover, using two-three layered glass creates a thermal-acoustic insulator.
Using these modern facades leads to design different installation details including frameless glass and lamel facades (Face Cap).
