Elevator Shafts

The all-glass enclosing structures of elevator shafts provide the main advantage of perceptible fragility and
exquisiteness combined with guaranteed reliability and long life. The panoramic glazing of elevator shafts with architectural shutterproof glass (which is more commonly referred to as a panoramic elevator) has an advantage to conventional enclosed shafts. The main type of elevator shaft glazing Karvan-Glass apply is point glazing: glass is attached to the bearing structure made of stainless or construction steel using point fittings specially designed to compensate for dynamic loads that occur during operation of an elevator. In doing so, the maximum transparency is achieved.

The versatility of elevator shaft designs using architectural safety steel is virtually unmatched among other materials. It ranges from full transparency which gives a panoramic view to passengers in an elevator through to modern photoprints on glass capable of embodying any designer’s concept. For instance, hidden glass fittings enable to create a solid structure that shares concept with the decorative glazing of walls.
