Architects and mechanical engineers from around the world request the expertise of Gerhard Mayer and his engineering team to coordinate large scale glass installation projects for Cultural Centres, Airports, Art Galleries and Museums.
Architectural glass is basically glass that's used in the construction of buildings. It's most commonly utilized as clear laminated glass in the construction envelope, comprising windows on the exterior walls and other windows within the interior walls. Glass is occasionally used for decorative features inside the structure and as internal partition. Architectural glass has a number of specific applications, such as windows, partitions, skylights, doorways and skylights. In addition, architectural glass may be employed to build a roof, support for columns, flooring, columns and beams.
There are several different types of architectural glass for various architectural uses. There are two main categories - toughened (or UV stabilized). When you're shopping for glass, it's important to know which classification the glass falls into. To find out, it's necessary to obtain an exact measurement of each type and then compare them to your requirements.
Amongst all the glass types, architectural glass has been in use since the 19th century. Its primary function was to provide shade and diffused light in constructions with a low ceiling. However, with modern technology, it is more commonly used to build decorative glass items. Architectural glass comes in a variety of colors and textures. There are architectural glass for interior walls and windows and a variety of patterns, such as tints, bevels, and multi-colored streaks. All of these options provide building owners with many choices when designing the layout of their new building.
Some of the more popular architectural glass designs include rectangles, squares, octagons, and trapezoids. They can be used to make partitions, as well as glazed panels and skylights. Skylights are a great way to allow natural sunlight into a room without exposing the structure to harsh UV rays. These window shapes can be used to replace windows or simply to enhance their beauty. Furthermore, they make great ways to increase natural daylight by allowing filtered light to shine through the translucent glass.
Architectural glass can be crafted into a large number of different shapes and textures, depending on the manufacturer and client. While some architectural glass is functional, many decorative glass items are intended purely for aesthetics. Architectural glasses that are functional to include items such as signs, partitions, skylights, and windows. While some functional glass is sold with a polished finish, many purchasers choose a matte finish to achieve the appearance of a brick wall. This helps create a more natural appearance and helps ensure that a brick wall will match any other decor and hardware.
When it comes to architectural glass designs, there is a great deal of choice. In addition to rectangles, squares, and octagons, one also has the option of choosing from different colored glass materials, including millefiori and doublet, among other options. The material can even have a reflective surface or be frosted to make the glass opaque.
For many building owners, cost is a major factor when making their decision. The glazing industry has come a long way over the years, and consumers can often find a highly-functional, durable product for a fraction of what they might have spent years ago. Furthermore, there are a number of different styles available, ensuring that the right type of glass will fit with any structure. Architectural glass should not be underestimated, as it plays a key role in any building project by providing the necessary ventilation, diffusing heat, and reducing sound. No other building material can live up to all of these requirements, so it is vital to make sure that you select the right one.
Finally, when it comes to safety glass solutions, you can never go wrong with safety glass. These products are required by law in most regions and provide building owners and managers with an effective means of reducing the risk of serious accidents occurring. For example, the latest safety glass products employ the use of airbags, which are deployed when an incident occurs. Because the airbags will be deploying at very high speed, this ensures that individuals are placed in a position to avoid injury.

Architectural Glass is generally used as clear glass in the construction field, which is used for the exterior side of buildings. It is generally utilized as translucent window glass material in the structure envelope, which includes skylights in the outside wall. Architectural Glass has an astounding variety of colors, which include blue, green, gray, yellow, white and purple. Architectural Glass is utilized in residential buildings and office structures. In addition, it has found applications in industries like automotive, military, medical and electronics industry.
Architectural Glass has many important applications in several fields. It is commonly utilized in thermal mass building materials. It exhibits remarkable thermal conductivity, which makes it a preferred structural building material. This characteristic ensures that it provides excellent energy efficiency. It also keeps buildings cool and comfortable, which reduces the cost of cooling and heating inside the structure. Architectural Glass finds great use in industrial, commercial, and residential buildings.
Another significant area where Architectural Glass finds application is in Architectural Glazing, which is nothing but decorative glass ornamentation. It can be easily found in many forms like tiles, glass tiles, prisms, bars, cutouts, etc. It can even be custom-made, which allows the client to choose from the various available designs. Architectural Glass is commonly employed to cover opening and closing doors in bathrooms and kitchens, which add a decorative charm to the place. In addition, they are also used to decorate fireplace, patios, decks, and porches.
Architectural Glass mainly comes in two types-fiberglass and magnified-pillow glass. Architectural Glass has several advantages over other natural light sources. The first advantage is that it does not absorb or reflect sunlight. Because of this feature, architectural glass looks very beautiful and enhances the appearance of any place.
Another advantage of Architectural Glass is that it can be formed into any shape, size, color, and pattern, depending on the requirements of the clients. Also Architectural Glass can be easily shaped, cut, sanded and polished, which makes it an easy material to work with. Architectural Glass can be used both for decorative purposes as well as for functional design. This means that Architectural Glass can be used to create any type of interior designing effect-even in rooms that do not function Architectural Glass can be used to display photographs, paintings, furniture, etc.
Some of the most important safety glass techniques are found in Architectural Glass. These techniques help to ensure the maximum safety level at all times when using Architectural Glass. For instance, Architectural Glass is often used to create door and window screens. It can either be used to protect people while they enter or exit a room or building or it can be used to provide extra security at strategic locations. In all these cases, the glazing has to meet the required standards for structural safety and the required standards for aesthetic and safety purposes.
Architectural Glass has many benefits over other types of glazing, such as First produced, plate glass and moulded glass. The fact that Architectural Glass can be easily formed into any shape and size makes it highly flexible; it can fit into any space, so does not occupy a lot of space and can be used for multiple purposes. Since it can be shaped into any form and size required, it also reduces the production cost of Architectural Glass, leading to significant cost reductions in different areas. Since Architectural Glass is unique, it also adds a lot of value to the product. When Architectural Glass is using to enhance buildings, it not only increases the beauty of the structure, but also makes the structure more resistant to attack, is more fire resistant and prevents damage due to breakage.
When Architectural Glass is using to create a new building, it must pass various tests set by local, state and federal government agencies. After the structure has been evaluated by these agencies, if it passes the required standards, it gets approved for use, which requires Architectural Glass to be specially toughened glass. When toughened glass is used for Architectural Glass, it significantly improves the strength of the glass, so much so that the glass becomes bullet proof. Furthermore, the material carries an added level of hardness, which ensures that the glass doesn't break easily, thereby ensuring maximum protection. And, since Architectural Glass is specially made to resist corrosion and won't be damaged by heat, it's also quite beneficial to use for high-rise buildings or structures where protection from the elements is a must.

Architectural glass is basically used as translucent building material used in architecture. It's most commonly used as clear glazing window material on the outside building envelope, particularly for windows in the exterior walls. Architectural glass is also being used in architectural features and as interior partition glass. The glass can also be used in windows and doors for partitions, while inside the structure.
Architectural glass has become popular for its wide variety of uses. Glazing can be used in many areas of the architectural design. There are some areas which require special types of glazing in order to ensure their safety. One such example of this is the use of safety glass. This glass is made of special materials that ensure its safety when it comes into contact with fire. This glass is usually installed in areas such as doors and windows.
Architectural glass may also be installed inside the structure in forms of insulating tiles. These tiles are made from various materials, including synthetic ones. However, these are the most common types of glass used to insulate buildings. Other glass materials which may be used inside structures are skylights and windows. Both these types of architectural glass and window glass are often combined with other safety glass components such as spacers. In this way, they both offer a complete safety package inside the structure.
Architectural glass block is primarily used for exterior and interior partitioning. Architectural glass block comes in various colors so you can match it with the color of your home or simply go for a more industrial look. The best thing about Architectural glass block is that it is very easy to install. You just need to drill some tiny holes and then fit the window glass into them.
In order to prevent glare, many architects choose to use special glazing known as first produced or crown glass. First produced glass refers to those which were initially installed by another firm in an already completed building. Crown glass has the best anti-glare properties and has therefore become widely used in many modern buildings.
On the other hand, toughened architectural glass means that it has undergone a process which makes it more resistant to breakage. Among the many things that go into its making, the toughening process has the most effect. To make sure that your roof stays strong for a long time, you need to use a variety of materials. Among the best ones are toughened or polyvinyl butyral, polyurethane or solar control. Solar control, which uses glass that has a high concentration of UV rays blocking properties, is quite popular among the general public.
One type of protective and attractive glass is called laminated glass. It usually consists of two layers of glass, the first one being translucent or transparent glass and the second one being a very hard material that acts like a second layer of the clear glass. When the sunlight hits the laminated glass, it will not break into pieces. Another very interesting feature of this kind of glass is that it is extremely resistant to extreme heat. Because of its ability to withstand heat, this type of architectural glass can be used in areas that experience high temperatures during the summer. Since its surface is already smooth, the light is allowed to pass through it easily and will not leave any shadows.
Besides this, there are also several other types of protective glass which you can use to increase the level of safety in any place where you want to install it. Among the most common are splash guards, spacers and air curtains. Splash guards are great if you have pools in your garden area. With this type of glass, whenever water accidentally falls on your property, it will prevent it from causing any damage to your property by splashing into it. In the same way, air curtains are used to create a safety cover around swimming pools and spas.

NOVIEL example application 2: museum with display cases
Museums represent a specific challenge for lighting because often the majority of the exhibited artefacts are displayed within glass cases that serve to protect the artefacts. Such glass display cases have complex lighting requirements that become central to the overall lighting design of the space, taking precedence over any general or architectural illumination so that the displayed items take visual priority.
The primary role of display case lighting is to meet the specific needs of the artefacts on display. This includes such characteristics as structure, colour, and transparency. In this case, it may be necessary to use luminaires offering especially high CRI values.
Display case lighting usually takes the form of spotlights, which are easy to adjust as exhibits come and go, often offer superior colour rendition, and are of course ideal for creating accent lighting effects to pinpoint, model, and emphasise objects rather than their surroundings.
A key factor to consider is that the lighting must not cause deterioration to the artefacts. LED light sources are a perfect choice as they emit very little UV or IR radiation in the light beam, which protects objects from fading and heat-related damage. To further minimise damage, an illuminance of 50 lx is used to illuminate very delicate items such as textiles, books, and watercolours; 150 lx is generally used for the illumination of less delicate items including oil paintings; and 300 lx for the illumination of more robust items such as those made from stone and metal. Lower accent lighting values necessitate that the ambient lighting levels also be lower to allow the accent lighting to always stand out. Ambient lighting can, in fact, be reduced as low as navigational lighting only.
Yet another factor to take into account is glare. As display cases are almost entirely made of glass, it is important to minimise reflections as these will be visually uncomfortable and may well veil displayed artefacts. This applies to light reflected from both luminaires and windows. Blinds are often sufficient to control any available daylight, however, the minimisation of glaring reflections from luminaires can be more complex. The most effective way to reduce reflections is to use luminaires integrated into the display cases themselves and can cast light from above or below depending on need. This means the light is within the case, which removes the occurrence of reflections on the glass from outside. In the case of requiring lighting from outside, ceiling-mounted lighting is preferred, with the light directed in such a way as to ensure that any reflections caused do not shine into the eyes of visitors when looking at the displays, whether from the side or above.
Integrated lighting removes the cause of possible reflections and glare.
Take care about the angle of reflection in order to minimise glare when using ceiling-mounted luminaires.
We have developed one lighting design for this example application.
Lighting design 1 – We have used three rows of downlights (NOVIEL M) arranged in a regular pattern to provide visually comfortable ambient lighting. The downlights are positioned in such a way as to cause very little reflection on the display cases. For accent lighting, we have used very small, low-glare, recessed, adjustable spotlights (TARF ADJUSTABLE) that can be moved to precisely highlight displayed items while minimising the occurrence of reflections. The spotlights can also be used alone without the downlights to provide ambient and accent lighting in the case that lower light levels are desired.
