Project description

All-glass railing | Betzold in Ellwangen

MetallArt is not only an expert in the field of steel staircase construction. Also glass railings are part of the service portfolio of the Baden-Wurttemberg based company. Due to its continuous innovations the company is always at the cutting edge of modern technology. This is reflected by the development of a particular system for glass railings with individual approval by the German buidling authorities. The measurements of the DIN standards for the single glass panes can therefore be significantly exceeded.

As maximum transparency was requested for the interior design of the company Betzold in Ellwangen this individual approval was decisive for the construction of the glass railings. The glass balustrade for the concrete stairs and for the gallery offer as much natural light running through the atrium space as possible. This results in a most appealing atmosphere for employees and visitors.
