Glass Vision Company Limited - Accra, Ghana

Curtain wall is a term applied to a widely used facade technology for cladding large buildings. Curtain wall systems do not carry any dead loads imposed from the building structure, but instead are designed to support their self-weight and transfer horizontal loads (wind) incident upon them to the primary building structure.

At Glass Vision our Curtainwall systems are typically “hung” from the building structure — from whence derives the “curtain” reference — and typically attached to the floor slabs. The primary functions of the curtainwall are to resist air and water infiltration and to provide a thermal barrier between inside and out. Our Curtainwall systems are also designed to accommodate the complexities of deflections, thermal expansion and contraction, building sway and relative movements between floors as caused by wind or seismic loads acting globally or locally on the structure. Special design considerations can include daylighting, thermal, acoustical, security and blast-resistant performance. Designs for large buildings are almost always customized to individual project requirements.

ALUCOBOND is a light composite material consisting of two aluminium cover sheets and a core made of polyethylene.

As a light composite material, ALUCOBOND can be used for corporate identity designs, low rise developments such as those you would find in the industry, refurbishments and transportation sectors. It is the ideal material for façade cladding, awnings and fascias.

ALUCOBOND is stable and yet flexible, has a smooth surface and is available in a number of standard or custom colours. It is weather-resistant, unbreakable, shock-resistant, vibration absorbent & easy to install.

Our Bullet Resistant Glass Systems offer you an unparalleled combination of visual clarity and superior attack and ballistic protection, making them the most effective protective glass product available today! We custom fabricate each system to meet your unique specifications and to fit within your budget. Our flat glass systems are fabricated using the latest equipment: high- temperature, computerized slumping and forming ovens. In addition, we use high-pressure autoclaves, vacuum assisted cutting and layout tables. All of our glass systems are assembled under atmosphere-controlled clean-room conditions.

We can custom-develop systems for a variety of ballistic, forced-entry and impact-resistant applications, including automobiles, aircraft, boats, prisons, guardhouses, courthouses, law enforcement facilitates and retail stores. Our glass laminates can be shaped to fit OEM specs for windshields and other curved surfaces. When Glass Vision develops a bullet resistant system, visibility is never compromised for safety. We have found innovative ways, ranging from chemical treatments to advanced materials, to combine visual clarity with superior attack and ballistic protection. And because spalling (the spray of glass fragments on impact) can be as damaging as the threat the glass stopped, we offer a full line of low-spall and no-spall barriers for many applications. Other levels and systems are available, such as laser beam, EMP and blast protection. Tinting and polished edges are available at an extra charge. Available in gray, green, bronze and tints.
