Steel Glass Roof Structure

For a different appearance steel t or box sections can be used to support the glass joints within a glass roof.

Steel glass roof structure. Wayfinding was integral to the design with unobstructed views across the public spaces a visual connection to the central circulation spine and ample outdoor views. Large deflections can be managed by careful detailing of fixings to glazing such that local bending of the glass is avoided. Seele designs and builds plate and shell structures in single or double curvature structures such as glazed roofs and atria and curving roofs with amorphous forms. These minimal steel supports can span large distances and can suit a more industrial effect design.

The strength and stiffness of steel is such that supporting elements are of smaller section and therefore less obtrusive than would be the case with other commonly used materials such as aluminium. The exposed structural steel roof framing members create a dynamic rhythm of light and shadow an effect inspired by sacramento s tree lined streets. The use of technical glass solutions and coatings can make your structural glass roof a higher performing element of your project. Or gridshells cable net façades and tubular structures in complex forms with multiple glass infill panels.

Tubular and tension elements are used in atrium roofs and vertical facades to form elegant and minimally intrusive support for glazing.
