Custom-Made Safety Glass
by SILATEC

Not every resistance class is available in every size. The available sizes depend, among other things, on the desired level of protection and the design requirements of the project. The following overview provides an initial insight into the possible combinations of security class and glass size.

Note: *Thedimensions listed are for general reference only. Depending on the project, larger sizes, custom shapes, coatings, and customized glazing solutions can be provided. SILATEC evaluates each project on a case-by-case basis.

Custom-made safety glass makes it possible to combine high safety requirements with individual architectural specifications. While standard solutions often require compromises in design, transparency, or functionality, custom-made safety glass is tailored precisely to the specific project.

For example, historic muntin windows can be faithfully reproduced—as shown in the first image—to visually preserve existing facades or buildings designated as historic landmarks. At the same time, modern safety requirements for burglary resistance, bullet resistance, or blast resistance can be integrated without altering the building’s distinctive architecture. Custom-made safety glazing also opens up additional design possibilities for new construction. Large-format glass surfaces and glass corners (as shown in the second image), floor-to-ceiling windows, or floor-to-ceiling sliding elements can be planned in such a way that safety, transparency, and comfort are combined. The goal is not to adapt the architecture to the safety glass—but to adapt the safety glass to the architecture.

Custom safety glass is the “tailor-made suit” of safety glazing: individually designed, technically optimized, and precisely manufactured to meet the requirements of your project.

Behind every safety glazing solution lies the expertise of our team. Together with building owners, architects, and safety managers, SILATEC develops solutions tailored to the specific requirements of each project. Depending on your needs, safety features can be supplemented with UV protection, alarm systems, or other features. Development, manufacturing, and quality control are all carried out by SILATEC in Germany. State-of-the-art manufacturing facilities ensure the highest precision, while experienced employees oversee and inspect every piece of glazing. From safety consulting and production to on-site installation and acceptance testing, the result is a safety solution precisely tailored to the project’s requirements.

From individual windows to complete safety glazing for entire buildings: SILATEC develops custom safety glass for projects of all sizes. Each glazing system is individually designed, manufactured, and tailored to the requirements of the specific property.

Custom Manufacturing

For individual windows, unique window shapes, or complex renovation projects, SILATEC develops custom-made safety glazing. Historic muntin windows, special coatings, or custom functional glass can often be integrated into the design as well.

Multiple Glass Panels

Large window facades, panoramic glazing, or lift-and-slide elements require coordinated planning across multiple glazing elements. This results in safety solutions that combine protection, transparency, and living comfort.

Complete Building Glazing

From museums and jewelry stores to high-end villas: SILATEC implements comprehensive safety concepts for the building envelope. From planning and safety-related design through manufacturing to installation, we provide end-to-end safety glazing solutions from a single source.

Large-format safety glazing opens up new possibilities for architecture, transparency, and protection. Whether floor-to-ceiling windows, large-scale lift-and-slide systems, storefronts, facade glazing, or glass roofs—SILATEC develops custom safety glass for demanding projects with high design and safety requirements. Weight plays a particularly crucial role in large-scale lift-and-slide systems. Thanks to special glass assemblies that are comparatively lightweight, many elements can be operated comfortably in everyday use despite high safety requirements. At the same time, large-format safety glazing ensures clear views, bright rooms, and a sense of open space.

From exclusive villas and prestigious corporate buildings to museums and high-end storefront displays, we create safety solutions that combine protection with architecture—individually designed, manufactured, and installed by SILATEC.

Every project has different requirements in terms of safety, architecture, and use. The following examples show how safety glass can be custom-designed and installed to meet specific needs.

Note:
The following FAQs address general questions about safety glass, sizes, and strength classes, as well as our services. However, specific questions regarding safety glass are often complex and require more detailed explanations, as requirements can vary significantly depending on the application. For a customized assessment of safety glass and its applications , we therefore recommend a personal safety consultation.
