FAÇADE CONSTRUCTION WITH STONEGLASS PANELS OF 6 METER x 3 METER AND NO NEED FOR METAL SUPPORT. Our Stoneglass fin structures offer an exciting option for your glass wall design needs, by creating expansive areas of total vision and translucent stone beauty. Glass fins, full height or cantilevered, are used in the place of conventional metal mullions to brace the system and transfer wind load and seismic forces to the supporting boundary structure by providing support along each vertical glass joint. Depending on specific dimensions, mainplate stoneglass can span the height of the opening in a single lite of 6mx3m or in multiple lites. Specially engineered splice plate assemblies or spider fittings can join the mainplates to the fins. The resulting system is one that yields maximum visibility, a sense of openness, and a modern flair.

Other glass options available include hard and soft-coated glass, low-e coatings, and low iron glass for the ultimate clarity in clear stoneglass. All of the glass options can be heat-soaked upon GLASS FIN STONEGLASS STRUCTURES 7
Unique, custom designed, glass facades, entrances, storefronts, curtain walls, skylights, canopies, and other structures can add distinction, exceptional beauty, and expansive visibility to a construction project. However, these glass structures require meticulous engineering, extensive knowledge of materials and codes, broad experience, quality materials, and expert craftsmanship. Each design will have unique parameters and requirements which must be accurately addressed in order to provide a safe, functional, durable, weather-resistant glass structure which can withstand wind and seismic loads and thermal expansion and contraction. It is critical that unique stoneglass structures be both designed and fabricated by a single, knowledgeable entity assuming complete responsibility. Piece-meal assembly of products from numerous manufacturers and fabricators without a comprehensive design and engineered solution is not a method for achieving a functional, safe, stoneglass structure. We can provide this essential sole source design and fabrication responsibility. We are stone miners and glass manufacturers which provides glass luxury at affordable prices in a timely manner. We design and fabricates a wide variety of stoneglass structures including facades, entrances, storefronts, skylights, canopies, glass fin systems, and tension truss structures. 8
