Multitalented Easy Glass

The Easy Glass range has a glass balustrade solution for every imaginable mounting situation. All four systems impress with their slimline profiles, optimal transparency and unobstructed visibility. Their manoeuverability and ease of installation are also major advantages on the construction site.



With Easy Glass Pro, installers have five different base shoes to choose from, including options that allow installation right on the edge of a balcony. Another big plus is that any necessary glass adjustments can be carried out from inside the balustrade. This eliminates the need for scaffolding or special tools. Easy Glass Max is one of the newest additions to the Easy Glass range. Capable of resisting linear forces in excess of 5 kN/m, it is the strongest base shoe ever. Consequently, it is ideal for crowded public spaces such as stadiums and airports.
