Sink an entire wall of glass into the floor with a HIRT Swiss Descending Window from IQ Glass. This amazing glass product offers the ultimate 'wow' factor for any type of building from residential to public.
Straight, curved or even cornered walls of glass can sink into the floor at the push of a button allowing you to completely open a room to the outside with a disappearing wall.
The completely flat threshold creates a seamless transition between your internal and external spaces, perfect for creating an indoor-outdoor living experience. A bespoke threshold finish can be incorporated into the design with materials such as timber, stone and metal.
Gary Davis, Sales Director at IQ Glass, explains: “The HIRT Swiss Descending Window is part of the next generation of architectural glazing, and is a product that will soon become very popular with our clients. This product allows you to create large walls of glass that sink into the ground with the great aesthetics of modern architectural glazing. These glass walls can provide fully open apertures when open but minimal clear glass faces when closed, which is often requested.”
Many design options are available including integrated opening windows and doors for additional function. If you love the idea of this product but don't want glass, these descending windows can be created from any material of your choosing.
These descending glass walls can be finished with almost all glass finishes available from IQ Glass, allowing you to integrate solar control glass, electrochromic glass and switchable privacy glass for an even more impressive exterior.
