ISOCLIMA products are also often employed in architectural designs. They have been incorporated in many prestigious international projects due to our high quality standards and consolidated skill and competence in the development of innovative products.
In contemporary architecture the recent years have seen a strong propensity for the design of projects in glass and steel with spider bracketing used on flat as well as curved glass panels. These structural application have a strong visual impact but, on the other hand, require from the designer an in-depth knowledge of the materials and their behaviour when used with these particular bracketing systems.
If the mechanical conduct of glass and the admissible range of resistance values have now become easily accessible to designers, a much more difficult challenge has been met when the correct qualitative valuation of a glass is required and in particular, in the case of the mechanical resistance prerequisites obtained into the thermal or chemical toughening process.
The development of glass science has afforded a notable improvement in the knowledge of the mechanisms that determine the mechanical behaviour of this extraordinary material, especially in relation to the maintenance of its physical prerequisites under static or dynamic fatigue.
With adequate and precise process control in the thermal or chemical toughening cycles, it is possible today to ensure the correct qualitative valuation of the product in order to make sure that the mechanical prerequisites of transformed glass are fully compliant with the pre-set project values.
