Safety glass for travel centers

Safety glass for travel centers - Hammerglass

Permanently unbreakable glazing solutions for travel centers, bus stations, and train platforms. Hammerglass's light weight and hard surface make it an excellent choice for roofs, walls, elevators, and more. The nanotechnology surface treatment facilitates graffiti removal and also offers 99.96% UV protection, meaning the material will not discolor or experience any other change in optical quality over time. The estimated lifespan of Hammerglass is more than 40 years.

Flexible vandal-proof glass solutions

Hammerglass offers unbreakable glazing solutions for roofs, walls, platforms, elevators, and balustrades. Clear or colored Hammerglass sheets, up to 6 meters long and 4-20 mm thick, offer clients and architects considerable freedom in project design and construction. For larger sections, the individual sheets can be joined together.

The glass can be mounted using clamp profiles, Hammerglass Fixpoints, or project-specific fixing solutions. Fixpoints can also be used to create a gap between the wall and the glazing pane.

A further advantage is that the glazing material can only be cut after the basic structure has been assembled, with each glazing cutout and each fastening element being individually measured with a 3D laser and then transferred into a CAD drawing for production.

Wall sections and roof structures

Crystal-clear wall sections and roof structures with hammer glass panes mounted on existing structures or project-specific profiles, z.B. an L-profile with clamping profiles in the glass joints for watertight sealing. Each section to be glazed is individually measured, and the glass panes are then cut to size.

Glass for stairwells and elevators

Entire external elevator towers with heights of up to 10 meters or just a stair railing? We offer shatter-resistant glass solutions for stairs, escalators, and elevator connections – either in existing systems or in completely new steel structures. Mounting the handrails directly into the Hammerglass panes works very well.

After the steel structure is installed, measurements are taken to ensure the optimal fit of the Hammerglass panels. The glazing panels are fixed throughout using the Hammerglass Fixpoint system to ensure optimal strength.

Glazed walkways and waiting rooms

Entire construction projects are often carried out while the railway is operating. This means that it must be possible to erect most structures directly next to the track and then lift them into place. Our installers install the screens while the steel skeleton is still on the ground and then lift the entire structure. This type of lifting is virtually impossible with conventional glass, as any movement in the structure would lead to glass breakage.

All panes were individually measured and manufactured. Even if the steel structure doesn't match the drawing 100%, the panes' installation proceeds smoothly.

• Glazed at the bottom and lifted into place
• Individually measured and manufactured screens

Undamaged and clean weather protection

Modular, shatter-resistant bus shelters from Hammerglass, glass replacement in existing train station shelters, or glazing in a completely new structure. Hammerglass panels are flexible and can be shaped to fit curved profiles.

Safe pedestrian underpasses and bicycle tunnels

Illuminated pedestrian underpasses not only provide a safer environment and increased safety, they are also visually appealing. An opal, color-impregnated or printed hammer-edge glass panel with LED lighting creates an attractive point of light in the darkness of night.

In the case of graffiti, markings or other dirt, most common cleaning agents and chemicals can be used for cleaning without damaging the Hammerglass panes.
