Glass roofs are in great demand today as the glass roof gives a unique opportunity to protect the room from snow and rain and at the same time to ensure the maximum possible illumination of the room with natural light. The room with a glass roof looks light, airy, light.

Roofing is used in the construction of modern shopping centers, office buildings, winter gardens and greenhouses, swimming pools, etc. Glass roofs are also used for the atrium - a special, usually central, distribution space in public buildings, which has access to other premises of the building.
Glass roofs can be manufactures practically in any existing forms: flat and arched roofs, single and double roofs, dome, tent, skylights.
The glass roof is made of a special safety glass that can withstand large loads. For additional protection, such glass can be covered with a thin polymer film, which increases its strength. Moreover, in addition to protection from impact and damage, such a film also provides protection against excessive ultraviolet radiation, since it contains special components that reflect ultraviolet radiation.


Glass roofing shall be performed taking into account the following safety and comfort conditions:

high degree of wind and water resistance;
preventing excessive insolation (i.e., excessive irradiation with sunlight);
removal of rainwater from the outer surface of the glass roof;
removal of condensate from the inner surface of the glass roof;
preventing the formation of a snow cap;
high degree of resistance to mechanical damage (impacts, scratches).
So, in many respects, the safety of the operation of a glass roof depends on its frame - a structure that hols the load. The glass roof frame should be strong enough to withstand its own weight, glass weight, wind loads, rain and snow loads.


A skeleton is made of steel or aluminum profiles, pipes.
Glass roofing requires complex design calculations, the use of high-quality materials, high skills of workers - all these "ingredients" for the manufacture of glass roof you will always find in Giovani Glass.

The material used to make glass floors is triplex. This is due to the fact that the triplex, which represents 2-3 sheets of tempered glass, connected together allows achieving the necessary characteristics of resistance to loads - static and dynamic. Fasteners for mounting glass floors are joints, made of stainless steel of high durability. Another option for installing a glass floor is stacking on a pre-prepared slot in the floor.
Glass floors made of tempered glass have a high light pass. So, under it, you can set the backlight so that the glass floor can act as a source of light, thereby enhancing the impression and overall design of the room.
The glass floor in the apartment does not contribute to the accumulation of dirt and pathogenic microorganisms, and therefore it is very hygienic. The glass floor is not "afraid" of moisture, but even if something unintentionally was spilled on such a floor, then no additional measures, except wet or dry cleaning, is needed.


The glass floor plays a significant role in shaping the perception of space in the room. Glass "window" on the floor can add a room more "stretched" or, on the contrary, "flattened" look, and glass floor in the form of a tape will visually "push" the space boundaries.
Among the disadvantages of using glass floors in residential buildings and apartments, we can mention their rather slippery surface. And indeed, the smooth glass can be very slippery. However, such a disadvantage can be easily eliminated: the surface of the floor is treated with a sandblasting method, which makes rough. The treated surface of the glass floor is not slippery.

Glass flooring is an ultra-modern and creative way to decorate the interior at home or in the office. The glass floor will give the room a futuristic look, will maximize the space and review of different areas of the house. The designs of such a floor are lighter than concrete and are installed more quickly. Giovani glass offers glass floors that will help you to make a house or a store truly special. Our company guarantees the quality of materials and works, as well as their durability.

Types of glass floors and their designs
Glass ceilings - this floor acts as a bearing structure between floors, can be a floor on a balcony, loggia, etc.
False glass floors - perform a decorative function in the interior design, the product, in this case, is a glass layer over a regular floor.
Glass podiums- elevated glass level, which can also be installed over the ordinary floor.
Since the glass floor must withstand large loads, we use only a particularly strong tempered glass for this purpose. For all types of floors, a multi-layered construction is required from glued hardened canvases - triplex. They can withstand active operation and loads up to 400 kg. The upper layer of a glass covering is usually made of a glass of not very large thickness, since it will need to be replaced over time with a newer to restore the aesthetic appearance of the floor. But the main construction will remain.

False floorboards can be decorated more diversely, as during their manufacture we can use decorative glass for the middle layer – you can choose the color, pattern, different textures. Glass can be transparent or matte, it can be covered with decorative films. This slightly reduces the strength of the entire structure, so such decorative effects in the carriage of glass ceilings will not work.
We also use strong bearing structures for glass flooring. This can be high-quality painted steel or stainless steel. For small decorative glass windows in the floor, wooden supports with steel fasteners can be used.
