The inherent design flexibility of Planar is ideally suited to roof applications. Framing that can become a maintenance problem or possibly cause future leaks is not required. Planar glass carries self weight, snow loads, resists seismic movements and wind pressures through the use of Planar fittings.

Large spans are possible if underlying purlins are reinforced with cable tensioned rod rigging. Planar roofs require a minimum slope of 3 degrees to eliminate ponding on the glass.

  Fittings            Specifications and Performance Charts

Planar can be supported by tension trusses, glass purlins, space frames and many other types of structures. The structure can be above or below the glass.

Various glass types can be incorporated into the roof for superior performance. All glass is laminated generally using Dupont’s SentryGlas® Plus laminate. For more information on SentryGlas® Plus click here

All backup structures are available as a completely engineered sole source package for guaranteed performance of the glass roofs.
