  • Glass panels of aluminium system move loosely in both directions.
  • Ease of maintenance – moving parts can be easily dislodged and arranged back into the system.
  • For the reasons of additional safety, the system can be mounted with locks.
  • Aluminium structures are light therefore balcony is not loaded with an additional weight.
  • Aluminium profiles can be painted in a desired colour using high-quality and durable powder coating technology or systems of anodized aluminium (well-resistant to corrosion, wear and scratches).
