Product Description

The piston (shock absorber) wind breaker glass is a practical solution that allows the system to rise automatically by lightly pressing the upper glass. This system, which does not require an electrical connection, offers much easier use than manual models and is ideal for businesses such as cafes and restaurants.

Typical use cases

Wind‑breaker glazing fits cafés and restaurant terraces, hotel pool decks, residential balconies and commercial frontages alike. Systems are engineered to reduce wind intrusion, drifting dust and seasonal temperature swings; LED‑channel models add evening ambiance for high‑traffic terraces.

Who should choose this system?

Suitable for architects planning durable envelopes, hospitality investors and villa owners prioritising usable outdoor square metres. Choosing between planter‑weighted portability and anchored floor‑fixed installs depends on load and façade constraints.

Frequently asked questions

How long does installation take?
Depends on façade area and SKU; crews typically finish within a short multi‑day window once scope is frozen after survey.
Tempered vs regular glass?
Tempered glazing offers far higher thermal‑shock and impact resistance and breaks into small blunt fragments—critical near guests and staff.
Best model for a café terrace?
Hospitality terraces often blend LED‑channel planters for night trade with robust anchoring where wind‑load dictates fixed posts.
What does the warranty cover?
Manufacturing flaws are covered two years from delivery; workmanship one year subject to documented professional install clauses.
