Guillotine Glass

Glass panels move vertically in side rails and open or close within seconds by remote control.

How it works

The glass panels travel vertically inside aluminium rails on both sides. Press the remote and the panels open by vertical movement; press again and they close the space. The glass height that remains when open and the layout are set at the site survey. A motor in the head box and a bearing-guided mechanism drive the movement; as nothing swings inwards, table layouts stay as they are.

Where and how Guillotine Glass - Where and how it is usedit is used

Café and restaurant terrace

In good weather the panels open vertically by remote control; when the weather turns, they close in seconds while table layouts stay untouched.

Home balcony

Panels never swing in, so seating on a narrow balcony stays put while opening and closing effortlessly by remote.

Terrace under a pergola

A pergola or bioclimatic roof covers the top, guillotine glass closes the sides. The terrace works in every season and stays airy in summer.

System options

Single glazing

8 mm toughened glass. Light, with high light transmission and a lower budget; for spaces where thermal insulation is not a priority.

Double glazing

Reduces the effect of outside temperature and noise indoors. For cafés, restaurants, terraces, balconies and winter gardens used all year round.

Number of panels

Set by height at the site survey.

Control

Operated by remote control; additional control options are assessed at the site survey. Rain and wind sensor options are assessed per project at the site survey.

Profile finish

Aluminium profiles can be powder-coated in RAL colours, anodised (natural) or given a stainless-steel look.

Frequently asked questions about guillotine glass

It depends on the motor. With some motors the panels stay locked where they are; others can be opened and closed with a manual crank. How it works in a power cut is confirmed at the survey.

The line where the moving panel meets the lower glass needs care, especially with children. The industry uses a flexible cover profile or an obstacle sensor there. Which one your system has is confirmed at the survey.

If the lower glass that stays in place is meant to protect against falls, the glass type matters. Where an existing balustrade is removed, laminated glass is recommended for the bottom panel. The decision is made at the survey, based on the building.

On the ground floor the outer face can be cleaned from outside. On upper floors access depends on the model; we agree on the right solution for your floor at the survey.

Total glass area, chosen system, single or double glazing, glass and profile colours, balcony layout and installation conditions determine the price. The final price is quoted after an on-site survey.
