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.
The Colcom-Minusco-Sadev group is a major and leading player in the glass hardware industry. This group, with the leadership of Sadev, is the designer and supplier of part of the most sophisticated requirements for the glass facades and structures in the world. High quality, stunning beauty, and reliable technical support have been the main strategies of this group in the market. To ensure full safety, most of the products of this group are provided under the technical advice and reports submitted by CSTB or CEBTP.
Since , Venus Glass Company has established the glass and metal unit (V-Systems) and has sought to understand this important need in the domestic architectural industry so as to comply with the upcoming demands. This company has tried to meet a complete chain of market needs in this area through providing consulting services in engineering and design, supply and installation of various glass and metal systems.
Partitions can be broadly divided into two categories: Load Bearing and Non-Load Bearing. LBs are designed and built to withstand external weights other than NLBs and NLBs to be stabilized on their own weight axis. The fit of the fasteners of each of the produced partitions is always kept hidden from the viewer and also makes the installation and relocation of the partitions easy and in the shortest possible time.
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.
