Balcony Glazing in Residential Tower | Solarlux

Solarlux is a family-owned company with nearly 40 years of expertise in flexible window and facade solutions. Their high-quality product range includes bi-folding doors, sliding windows, and glazed extensions, ideal for new builds and modernization. The Proline T balcony glazing system by Solarlux was used in the 'Skyline Living' residential tower in Stuttgart, Germany.

The "Skyline" ensemble of high-rise buildings is located in the city's northern "City Prag" district, bringing together work and life as convenient neighbors. Part of the complex is a 75-meter-high apartment block called "Skyline Living". The highlight of the flats is undoubtedly the top-class view.

To ensure that tenants on even the highest floors could use their balconies, the 'Skyline' developers decided to install all-glass weather protection that would provide sound insulation and retain an 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.
