tension structures
Various types of truss structures incorporating tension rods, cables, simple tubes
or pipes can be designed in numerous configurations to support the Planar glazing
facade.
These structures can be internal or external to the glass plane. W&W can supply
the backup structure along with the Planar System as a complete design/build product.
The remarkable potential of the innovative Pilkington Planar structural glazing
systems is already demonstrated by a range of spectacular designs around the world.
Pilkington Architectural has extended the scope of this exciting concept by creating
the new Pilkington Planar Tension Structure (T.S.) range of systems.
Pilkington Planar T.S. Systems incorporate the advantages of the original Planar
facade while enhancing its possibilities through the addition of a tension structure
support system... offering even more exciting aesthetic possibilities and providing
a minimalistic structure.
