One of the manifestations of the expansion of glass application in the modern architecture is the all-glass railings and shelters which have been increasingly considered by the interior and exterior designers in today’s architecture. Relying on the strength and durability of glass for such applications depends on the parallel development in the laminated and securit (toughened or tempered) glass. The glass retaining metal and non-metallic parts and other adjoining parts of these assemblies is as important as the quality of technical properties of the glass in achieving the overall goals in terms of the beauty and performance. In this regard, Venus Glass operates as the exclusive partner of the Q-railing (Germany) and Sadev (France) companies in Iran.

Advances in engineering knowledge of the structural properties of glass have doubled in recent decades and this has led the architects to once again put their old demands on the table of the structural engineers to maximize transparency in the architectural elements. Since the mechanical and structural properties of multi-layered glass (securit / laminated) appear to be much more complex than imaginable, glass engineering still has a higher level of complexity than the classic metal/concrete structures, so that before the creation of modern methods of structural analysis by using the powerful computers, there was no possibility to design an all-glass bridge or all-glass stairs. This trend has been growing so fast with the entry of large companies and manufacturers to this market. In this regard, extensive and close cooperation with the international partners such as the Sadev and Vetroin has provided plenty of opportunities to Venus Glass in providing specific designs.

This family of products has focused on the use of a new generation of metal fittings for the glass that allows access to the non-airlock glass walls for some applications including the glass walls in the double skin façade (with the aim of reducing noise pollution, upgrading the exterior façades of old buildings, and improving the thermal insulation of the first glass façade) or in the first glass façades in cases where the airlock is not important (such as the multistorey 

The spider facade is referred to a kind of modern self-standing glass facade (curtain wall) in which the glass is connected to the structure with point-to-point connections. The main application of the spider facade is in the commercial and office buildings, and there is no vertical and horizontal structure on the glass plate, the case that is considered as a weakness in the curtain wall facades. In general, the spider facade has a diverse structural system including the metal, cable, and glass structures which are used according to the building usage, loading, and cost. The use of any glass structure is allowed in this façade and this is determined according to the environmental and user-defined conditions.

The engineering services provided by this unit include calculations and design, presentation of the details of the project, supplying the parts and, if desired, the installation of these systems. In addition to the conventional load-bearing systems such as the columnar structures or glass panes, Venus Glass also provides very beautiful and modern structural systems with the collaboration of Sadev Company.
