Completion: 2018
Location: Kaiser Wilhelm Monument, Porta Westfalica
Crystal clear panoramic view
Since July 2018, the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument at the Porta Westfalica has been open again following extensive renovation work. Teutemacher Glas und Spiegel, Warendorf, supplied and installed the glass balustrades for this construction project. Glassline GmbH in Adelsheim additionally supplied 126 m of profiles for the glass railing system BALARDO core.
The requirements for the glass used were strict. The glass in question is laminated safety glass (LSG) with a total glass thickness of 22 mm, composed of two tempered safety glass (TSG) panes. Curved glazing with single pane lengths up to 3,600 mm were used. A special substructure made of galvanised and bent steel was required. The anodised aluminium profiles for mounting the glass panes were screwed to this construction. Special requirements were the controlled drainage of the profiles and the stainless steel handrail, which also needed to be curved.
The total length of the construction is approximately 100 m. A lot of patience and precision was required to mount the glass elements. The Managing Director of Teutemacher, Thomas Pinnekamp, emphasised the particular achievement of the fitters: "The installation took place under difficult conditions. The curved glass panes weighing up to 230 kg needed to be directly threaded into the glazing profiles using a special suction unit and a crane. The crane stood approximately 15 m above the installation site. "

The Most Elegant Windbreak in the "Frisian Caribbean"
The Südstrand Wellness Resort in Wyk auf Föhr gleams with all-glass railings on the balconies, at the outdoor pool and the beach bar. Anyone who knows the North Sea island of Föhr, thinks of miles of white sandy beaches, of versatile nature with habitats such as mudflats, sandy ‘geest’ and marsh and a climate favoured by the Gulf Stream — just what a modern person needs to unwind. After four years of planning and construction, a resort has been created there that fits in with this natural environment, in the middle of the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park. The Südstrand Wellness Hotel in Wyk, supported by the European Regional Development Fund, among others, and operated by Uptalsboom, aims to take tourism on the island to a new level. The 4-star superior hotel offers 144 rooms and suites with sea views and 2,000 square meters of spa with an outdoor pool. The elegant design of the façades and the outdoor area meets the high standards of the hotel as a whole: Almost 1,000 linear metres of Balardo core glass railing from Glassline were used for this purpose. The different installation situations on the various buildings are particularly appealing and make the building elements look quite different. For example, the profiles for balconies and loggias were put in straight or sloping. This is made possible by the high-quality aluminium profile that forms the basis of the system. The clamping shoe, which is perfectly adapted to the profile, stabilizes the glass plates used, which in turn are securely locked with a clamping rod and an inner and outer seal. The beach bar also received a glass railing, which separates the guests from the promenade, but also connects them to the beach due to its transparency. It has also been installed at the outdoor pool - as a windbreak and against the sand that comes from the beach. The safety glass made of 22mm thick toughened safety glass optimally withstands the wind pressure on the second largest North Sea island. In the residence arcades, brick sections of wall alternate with floor-to-ceiling glazing from Glassline, opening up a view of the surrounding landscape.
Installation was carried out by the metal construction company Marten Rickertsen GmbH in Langenhorn, Schleswig-Holstein, who have been working with Glassline for a long time. “It was a very big project, but we had no problems processing the products at all. The installation went really well,” says Femke Rickertsen, summing up: “Resort Südstrand is probably the nicest hotel we have up here on the west coast.”

Einen Neubau in der Reuter-Siedlung in Bonn-Kessenich schmückt das Porträt der Königin Luise von Preußen. Auf dem Eckgrundstück stand seit den 1960er-Jahren ein niedriges, zweckmäßiges Versicherungsgebäude in Pavillon-Bauweise in direkter Nachbarschaft zu einem denkmalgeschützten Gründerzeit-Altbau. Als der Pavillon abgerissen wurde, entwarfen die Bonner Architekten Pascal Schroeder und Stefan Schevardo ein modernes Gebäude mit sieben Wohnungen und einer Gewerbefläche, das mit dem Altbau verbunden wurde. Das Highlight ist die verglaste Fassade des Neubaus: Sie bewahrt die dahinterliegenden Loggien nicht nur vor Verkehrslärm, sondern zeigt ein transparentes Bild der Königin Luise von Preußen (1776-1810).
Für die Balkone kamen 33 laufende Meter der Glasgeländer von Glassline zum Einsatz. Acht Verbundsicherheitsglasscheiben mit Heat-Soak-Test nach DIN 18516-4 bilden die gläserne Haut, die mittels einer Kunststofffolie mit dem bezaubernden Fotodruck-Motiv versehen wurde.

Auch ein Verkehrsknotenpunkt lässt sich mit Glas edel und zeitgemäß gestalten. Das belegt die Modernisierung des Hauptbahnhofs in Wuppertal-Elberfeld. Eine stimmig wirkende Natursteinfassade umschließt sowohl eine Mall als auch das Parkdeck. Im Inneren sorgen Stahlstützenkränze nicht nur für Tageslicht, sondern auch für eine hochmoderne Gestaltung. Diesen Eindruck unterstreicht das Ganzglasgeländer an den Zugangstreppen zum Parkdeck. Realisiert hat diesen Auftrag die MBN Bau Aktiengesellschaft in Georgsmarienhütte, die auch den Bau der Mall und des Parkdecks übernommen hatte. „Für uns von der Bau- bzw. Projektleitung kam dafür nur BALARDO steel von GLASSLINE als Rundum-sorglos-Paket in Frage“, sagt Oliver Möllmann, stellvertretender Projektleiter der ARGE Döppersberg.

A school with a view! With 31 classrooms and specialist classrooms, the two-storey new construction offers a creative learning environment to approximately 500 schoolchildren from 27 countries. In the two-storey forum, a staircase leads from the event area on the ground floor to the upper floor, half of which is designed as terrace-like sitting steps. A glass railing runs upwards on the right and forms a circumferential glass gallery on the upper floor. For this, the BALARDO steel all-glass railing system was used over a total distance of 80 metres. A special feature is the additional constructive handrail in the staircase area. This was secured with point supports and offers children and adults a secure hold while climbing the stairs.

For the Living Levels project, a captivating view through the floor-to-ceiling glazing had to be guaranteed by means of an all-glass railing. The railing of choice was BALARDO core. The sophisticated system delivers maximum transparency; the only visible feature is the thin, horizontal line of the stainless steel handrail. The approximately 900 m glass railing was installed according to the fast and cost-effective "Click'n'Fix" principle, whereby the glass is simply clicked into place and secured with a seal. BALARDO core was the clear choice with its unique combination of fast installation, tested safety and extraordinary flexibility.

The construction concept for the Erste Campus is based on floating structures. The building elements are connected on the outside by bridges, which incorporate and extend the impressive, contoured glass architecture. Fall-proof, curved all-glass railings were designed to complement the dynamic shapes and open building structure as highly transparent and discreet components. The combination of BALARDO steel (straight) and BALARDO wave (curved) proved to be the perfect solution for the high demands of both curved and straight shapes.

The Käthchenhof is THE shopping arcade in Heilbronn, in the heart of the city. The purpose of the renovation was to make the architecture brighter, more modern and more open, as well as to harmonise it with the bustling city centre. Transparent all-glass railings with a straight, contoured and curved shape were therefore the main components of the new architecture. By combining the BALARDO steel systems (straight all-glass railing) with BALARDO wave (curved all-glass railing), the stringent requirements were not only met but exceeded.
