Aesthetics and safety for floor-to-ceiling windows with glass fall protection

Utilise the benefits of floor-to-ceiling windows with glass fall protection. The BUG FrontProtect French balcony is characterised by high quality and a clear design. The frame-integrated, fall-protecting glass or window parapet allows a clear view of the outside without the use of obtrusive bars or perforated sheets, as seen in conventional French balconies. Conversely, the BUG solution enables daylight from outside to enter interior spaces through the all-glass balustrade and thus flood the area with light.

FAQs about glass fall protection

Get all the details about the BUG FrontProtect glass window fall protection.

Window fall protection solutions or French balconies are classified as structurally load-bearing components. For this reason, both their own weight and the forces that act on the glass fall protection system when a person becomes unbalanced in an emergency situation must be taken into account. Although the BUG FrontProtect glass fall protection is a tested, high-quality product, it is essential that the masonry or house facade is included in the structural analysis. The builder is responsible for always providing an appropriate structural analysis for each building. Otherwise, the builder will be liable in the event of an accident.

Fall protection solutions made of glass have clear advantages over metal solutions. Metal affects the incidence of light and is susceptible to rust. Glass window guards are easy to maintain and clean, allowing maximum light and an unobstructed view of the outside..

Note: Due to its own high weight, planning must always include a structural analysis based on the masonry, the house facade, etc.
