Sliding and Rotating System | Proline T

Rising above the skyline in the city’s northern “City Prag” district, the “Skyline” ensemble of high-rise buildings brings together work and life as convenient neighbours. Part of the complex is a 75-metre-high apartment block called “Skyline Living”. The highlight of the flats is undoubtedly the top-class view.

In order to ensure that the tenants on even the highest floors could make full use of their balconies the company that owns the Skyline complex, decided to install all-glass weather protection that would also provide sound insulation. At the same time, however, they wanted the balconies to retain their open-air feel. This flexible solution was achieved using the frameless Proline T slide-and-turn system from Solarlux. Mounted on the glass balustrade, the panes can be moved to the side one at a time and turned open to form a bundle that locks in place at a right angle and remains secure even in heavy winds. Although it is not thermally insulated, due to the depth of the balcony, the glazing acts as a heat barrier so that the living space doesn’t get too hot in summer – or too cold in winter.
