All-glass Constructions

All-glass constructions create maximum transparency and combine modern architecture with technical precision. Through advanced glass technologies, carefully designed supporting structures and detailed connection solutions, light-filled roofs and facades with outstanding architectural quality can be created.

Materials

In all-glass constructions, the glass itself is the central design element. Depending on the requirements, toughened safety glass, laminated safety glass, insulating glass units, laminated glass or curved glass elements can be used. The selection depends on structural requirements, thermal insulation, acoustic performance, fall protection, transparency and architectural ambitions.

  • Laminated safety glass 
  • Toughened safety glass 
  • Insulating glass units 
  • Laminated glass elements 
  • Curved glass 
  • Stainless steel components 
  • Point fixings 
  • Structural glazing systems 
  • Steel or aluminium supporting structures 

All-glass constructions rely on the precise interaction between glass, supporting components and connection details. Depending on the project, load transfer is achieved through glass fins, steel or stainless steel components, point fixings, cable structures or concealed supporting structures.

The key challenge lies in combining maximum transparency with safety, durability, energy efficiency and practical installation requirements.

All-glass Constructions for Roofs

All-glass roofs create bright, open spaces and allow natural daylight to penetrate deep into buildings. They are suitable for atriums, entrance halls, shopping centres, hotels, office buildings, railway stations and public buildings.

Depending on the project, glass roofs can be combined with steel, aluminium, cable or space frame structures. Key considerations include weather tightness, drainage, solar protection, load-bearing capacity and safe installation.

  • Consultancy on glass composition and supporting structures 
  • Glass structural calculations 
  • Detailed engineering 
  • Development of sealing solutions 
  • Integration of drainage and solar shading systems 
  • Logistics for large-format glass elements 
  • Installation coordination 

All-glass Constructions for Facades

All-glass facades create transparent building envelopes with a high level of architectural lightness. They are ideal for showrooms, office buildings, hotels, foyers, atriums, shopping centres and prestigious entrance areas.

They can be designed as point-fixed glazing, structural glazing solutions, glass fin constructions or combined with cable structures.

  • Material and system consultancy 
  • Development of bespoke fixings 
  • Planning of tolerances and movement joints 
  • Manufacturing and installation 
  • Coordination with adjacent trades

All-glass Constructions: Transparency as a Design Principle

All-glass constructions represent transparency, light and architectural elegance. They enable roof and facade areas with maximum glass surfaces and minimal visible supporting structures – particularly effective for atriums, glass roofs, entrance halls, showrooms, hotels, office buildings and public buildings.

Lindner Steel & Glass develops bespoke all-glass constructions for demanding architectural projects. Modern glass and lamination technologies, precise engineering processes and project-specific connection details enable large spans and complex geometries.

Whether glass roofs, glass facades, point-fixed glazing or bespoke constructions: all-glass solutions combine technical performance with clear architectural design.
