The idea for SlideGlass\u00ae arose from a genuine customer need.<\/p>

For a penthouse apartment, the goal was to find a solution that would provide more protection from the wind without permanently altering the open character of the terrace.<\/p>

Fixed structures were only a limited option in this case. Therefore, the goal was to find a flexible solution that would provide protection when needed while also blending harmoniously into the architecture. <\/p>

Since existing systems didn’t fully meet our expectations, we began developing various ideas and prototypes on our own.<\/p>

It was particularly important to us to find a durable and practical solution:<\/p>

A system that not only functions as a windscreen but can also be used as a certified railing. In addition, the system should be flexible enough to be adapted\u2014for example, by allowing a railing to be installed initially without a movable windscreen and then expanded later. <\/p>

Step by step, this project gave rise to SlideGlass\u00ae.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Countless prototypes were created before the initial idea became a working system.<\/p>

We delved deeply into a wide variety of technical fields\u2014from extruded profiles and injection-molded parts to gas-spring technology, structural analysis, and extensive field testing.<\/p>

SlideGlass\u00ae has been tested under a wide variety of conditions and is continuously being improved\u2014from freezers to wind tests using high-performance blowers.<\/p>

For us, the focus was never on the most complicated solution, but on the most sensible one.<\/p>

The result is a system that is robust, durable, and suitable for everyday use\u2014designed for daily use in both home and professional settings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
