Industrial glazing

Warehouses and workshops in Al Quoz, Jebel Ali and the Northern Emirates ask glazing a different question: how to push daylight deep into a tall shed without turning it into an oven, and how to make frames that survive forklifts, dust and wash-downs. The answers are glazing high on the wall rather than at eye level, ventilation louvres in the same line, and sections specified for hard use. The work is phased around the operation, because the racking rarely stops.

We produce

Curtain walls, structural and semi-structural glazing, ventilated and cassette facades. The system carries its own weight and the wind load of a tall building, and the glass line stays unbroken across the elevation.

How an industrial job is run

  • Survey with the facility manager Operating hours and access equipment
  • Daylight balanced against the cooling Glazed area sized, not maximised
  • Louvres and openings set out Placed where the warm air gathers
  • Phasing agreed around the operation Bay by bay, racking stays loaded
  • Long sections cut in our Dubai factory Made to the measured survey
  • Installed with the right access plant Scissor and boom lifts planned in

The honest downside

What high-level glazing will not do for a shed

Glass high on the wall throws light a long way, but not all the way. In a deep shed the middle of the floor can stay dim however much glazing runs along the walls, and adding more glass to reach it mostly adds heat that the cooling has to remove.

It also sits where nobody can reach it. Dust from the yard and the racking settles on the glass and cuts the light it was put there for, and every clean needs a lift booked around the operation.

For a wide or deep building, openings in the roof plane bring daylight to the middle of the floor where wall glazing cannot. High-level glazing along the walls stays the right answer for narrower sheds, workshops and elevations where light and ventilation louvres can share one line.

Consider instead Skylights

Frequently asked questions

Partly, and the trade is worth making. Glazing placed high on the wall or in the roof plane throws light far into the building, so the artificial lighting can be dimmed for most of the working day; solar-control glass admits that light while rejecting a good share of the radiant heat. What settles the balance is the glazed area, the orientation and the height it sits at — not the glass on its own.

It should not. We phase the elevation bay by bay, isolate the area under work with barriers, and bring in access plant for the shift rather than leaving it standing in the aisle. Loading bays and fire routes are kept clear throughout — those are the two things a facility manager will not negotiate, and rightly.

Powder-coated aluminium does not rust, so the frame itself is the easy part. What wears is at the moving points: seals abraded by grit, and hardware that stiffens when dust turns to paste in a wash-down. We specify heavier hardware than a domestic job would use and agree a cleaning routine at handover.

Frequently, yes. Where the existing opening is framed and sound, a new unit goes into it and the cladding is left alone, which removes the expensive part of the job. The survey establishes what the opening is actually made of first — on older sheds it is not always what the original drawings claim.
