How can you extend the season for using your terrace without building a heavy garden structure? How can you limit the impact of wind and rain without sacrificing the view?

Odpowiedzią jest system ACS OptiGlass do konstrukcji całoszklanych ścian przesuwnych przeznaczony do zabudowy pergoli, tarasów, loggii i nieogrzewanych ogrodów zimowych. Klucz to minimalna liczba elementów ułatwiająca montaż i prefabrykację oraz elastyczne dopasowanie wymiarów i liczby paneli do konkretnej zabudowy.

Application: from pergolas to loggias

The ACS OptiGlass system organizes space in outdoor structures, improving comfort of use in adverse weather conditions. Tempered glass with a thickness of 8, 10, or 12 mm and increased resistance, as well as a system locking mechanism, ensure functionality in everyday use. In addition, the transparent pane does not visually burden the structure of the house. In practice, this solution is ideal for free-standing and wall-mounted pergolas, terraces adjacent to living rooms, balcony walls, or separate areas in conservatories.

Mechanics and ergonomics

The heart of the system is the bottom frame, available in configurations with 3, 4, 5, or 6 rails. It allows for the ideal selection of the opening width to match the geometry of the building. The sashes can be opened in one direction (they retract “behind each other”) or slide apart in two directions. The solution is complemented by simple, convenient locking and a special rail geometry that prevents the sashes from falling out. Another important factor for the contractor is the lack of complicated drainage work, which shortens the implementation time.

The dimensions of a single panel facilitate the planning of modules and divisions. The maximum height of a single module is 2800 mm, the width is 1200 mm, and the maximum weight is 120 kg. These values allow you to scale the number and width of panels from compact glazing to wide openings, while maintaining predictable system statics.

Integration with ACS Glass Garden: one ecosystem

System ACS OptiGlass jest naturalnym uzupełnieniem dla ACS Glass Garden. Dlaczego? Ponieważ konstrukcja ogrodu letniego/zimowego z ekstrudowanego aluminium pracuje jako stabilna rama pod szklenia. Ponadto, sposób łączenia profili ze specjalnymi łącznikami poprawia sztywność i czystość detalu. Zadaszenia przewidziano pod wypełnienia z poliwęglanu komorowego oraz szkła pojedynczego lub jednokomorowego. Parametry Glass Garden, takie jak: maksymalny rozstaw słupów (7000 mm), głębokość dachu (5000 mm) czy regulacja kąta nachylenia  w przedziale 2,5°–30° sprawiają, że dobór szyn i podziałów w ACS OptiGlass można skoordynować z rytmem słupów i geometrią połaci dachu w jednej kompatybilnej konstrukcji.

Installation and use: a shorter implementation path

Limiting the number of system components speeds up prefabrication and installation. In addition, the lack of additional drainage treatment of the bottom rail reduces wet work and the risk of collision with floor layers. After closing the structure with sliding panels, drafts and energy losses in the home area can be reduced. What's more, this will help reduce heating and air conditioning expenses during transitional periods.

ACS OptiGlass and ACS Glass Garden form a coherent set for the construction of lightweight, glazed outdoor areas. A wide selection of guides, flexible sash directions, predictable glazing parameters, and compatibility translate into shorter project completion times, simpler installation, and greater usability of the terrace throughout the year. For the investor, this means clear specifications and easy servicing, while for the contractor, it means repeatable details and stable delivery logistics.
