For the Fixed Flush Glazed Façades

At 2.8m high and with an approx. length
of 200m, the restaurants around the
square enjoy the flexibility of having the
Stackable Sliding Folding Partitions open
when the weather is great and closed
when it is windy or rainy. Again 6.38mm
or 8.38mm HL Neutral laminated safety
glass was used.
An exclusive feature to the entrances is
the Frameless Glass Doors. 19mm thick
clear toughened safety glass was used to
produce the 3.6m high entrance doors.
Roughly 84m2 of 19mm glass was used
for that application itself.
The 5th Street Glass ‘Box’ was Flushed
Glazed using the HBS Advantage Curtain
Wall system. 8.38mm SolarVue HL
neutral laminated safety glass was used
to cover the 380m2. The height of the
box is a staggering 11m and the width,
including the sides, is over 36m. The
special features in the glazed curtain wall
are the ACTUATED WINDOWS FOR
SMOKE EXTRACTION.
The duration of this project was about
8 months and The Aluglass Bautech team
worked very closely with the professional
team to co-ordinate the installation around
the steel structures provided by the steel
contactor. The majority of the aluminium
systems and hardware used by Aluglass
Bautech were supplied by HBS Aluminium
Systems and C.R.Laurence.
