Floor-to-ceiling glazing

On a building, floor-to-ceiling glazing is not one tall window. It is a single junction detail repeated at every slab edge, on every storey, for the whole height — and repetition changes which questions are hard. A bracket that works once will do; a bracket used hundreds of times has to swallow a slab edge that wanders away from the drawing, because concrete is poured by people and glass is machined to a size. The head allowance has to suit the floor that deflects most rather than the one somebody happened to measure. And every panel has to reach its storey and be turned into place over an open edge, which is why the lift plan is drawn before the pane sizes are signed off.

Advantages of working with us

  • In-house production

    Windows, doors and glazed structures are made at our own factory in the UAE. Manufacturing takes 3–5 weeks from the survey, and the dates are written into the contract.

  • Room measurement

    After a free consultation, an engineer comes to measure within 48 hours and answers the technical questions on site — openings, profile, glass and hardware.

  • Delivery of products

    We deliver with our own transport across Dubai and all Emirates, and the installation date is agreed in advance so the crew arrives with the finished units.

  • Installation on site

    A "clean" installation is carried out – all construction debris is removed, and dust and dirt are cleaned. Work can be conducted with or without your presence. The date and time are discussed individually.

  • Guarantee

    The structures we make and the installation our crews carry out are covered by one warranty under one contract. The profile system also carries the manufacturer's warranty — up to 20 years, depending on the system.

  • Service

    Warranty cases are handled by the same crews that did the installation: send the address and photos, and in most cases we can say before the visit whether it is an adjustment, a gasket or a glass unit.

How a repeated bay is delivered

  • Slab edges surveyed storey by storey Engineer on site within 48 hours
  • Bracket picked with adjustment in every direction Set to the concrete, not to the grid
  • Head allowance fixed against the worst floor The slab above never comes to rest on glass
  • One bay built and argued over before the rest Looked at, wetted and changed while it is cheap
  • Panels made in our Dubai factory Three to five weeks from the approved drawing
  • Floors closed in an agreed order Lift route and edge protection settled first

The honest downside

What full-height glazing costs a building

Glass from slab to slab on every storey means every room faces the sun with nothing solid in the way. On the east and west elevations that is a cooling load the whole building carries for its life, and a glare problem the occupants solve themselves with blinds and films that rarely match.

It also takes the wall away. Desks, beds and shelving cannot stand against the facade, privacy at night depends on whatever each occupant hangs, and the full height has to be cleaned from a cradle for as long as the building stands.

Where the rooms behind need wall space or the elevation takes the full afternoon sun, a horizontal band of glass with solid panel above and below gives daylight at eye level with far less glass to cool. Full height earns its place where the view is what the floor is sold on.

Consider instead Ribbon glazing

Frequently asked questions

A single opening is a problem you solve once and then look at. Repeated up a building, the same detail turns into two different problems. One is tolerance: the slab edge sits in a slightly different place on every floor, so the connection has to be adjustable rather than correct, and the head allowance has to suit the storey that moves most rather than an average. The other is programme, because until a floor is closed nobody else can work on it. The glass and the frames may be identical to the ones in a single flat; almost nothing around them is.

Because a detail repeated for the whole height is a decision made once. A single bay goes up early, sometimes on the building and sometimes on the ground, and it is looked at from outside, wetted, and picked over by everyone who has an opinion. What comes out is usually small: a gasket that will not sit down into a corner, a cap that throws a shadow nobody drew, a fixing that cannot be reached once the floor below is closed. Found in one bay it costs an afternoon. Found near the top it is the whole elevation.

Rarely the glass. Usually the route. A pane that has to come up through a core, turn in a lobby and be manoeuvred out over an open slab edge is limited by the narrowest point of that journey and by what a crew can hold safely at an edge with wind on it. A monorail, a hoist or a crane changes the answer, and so does whether that equipment will still be on the building when the glazing starts. So we set the panel split against the lift plan first and check the glass afterwards, rather than the other way round.

Mostly, yes, and it is why glazing sits so early in a building programme. An open floor is not weathertight, so ceilings, floor finishes and anything that objects to dust cannot start on it. That makes the closing order a commercial matter as much as a technical one, and it is agreed with the main contractor before the first bracket goes in: which floors close in which order, where the crates live in the meantime, and which storeys get handed on to the following trades each week.
