ARCHITECTURAL GLASS PERSPECTIVES
Metropolitan Glass North Branch Glenfield College
   

Frameless glass entrances are custom designed and manufactured for refurbishment and new developments.

The seemless look of Frameless Glass will enhance any environment by adding extra light and feeling of space. Generally pivot doors operate on floorsprings which provide controlled closing and a 90° hold open option. Doors on floorsprings can weigh up to 300kg.

There maybe occasions when Floorsprings are unable to be installed but a shelf closing action is required. When this situation occurs a transom closer can be concealed in the head above the door. If a transom closer is required consult with an approved glass company at design stage so correct head details are allowed.
