Self-supporting constructions | by Thomas Fruhmann Head of Sales Grid2Shell

Speaker – Thomas Fruhmann

Schüco is making waves with a truly unique system solution. In the Middle East, several buildings have already been constructed using the characteristic triangular glass panels. At Future Facade, Schüco is presenting the system solution specifically to the European market. “The possibilities are endless.”

Andreas Bitter, Head of Sales Grid2Shell at Schüco in Bielefeld, Germany, explains: “Grid2Shell is a self-supporting system consisting of glass panels measuring up to 3 x 3 x 3 meters, along with aluminum profiles and connectors (which we call ‘nodes’). This system allows for the creation of facades and skylights, which can also be integrated into a single ‘building skin’ in the form of a fully glazed morphed structure. By using aluminum instead of steel, the system remains lightweight yet strong. No additional ad on substructure is required, no separate insulating layer is needed, and no welded (hot works) connections are necessary. This makes assembly simple, fast and safe.”
