LOOP Structural Glass Hardware Systems Provide Unique Aesthetics, Proven Performance

The unique European-designed LOOP structural glass hardware system from DORMA Glas has crossed the Atlantic to offer architects in North America a contemporary design and reliable performance for all glass facades, canopies and overhead applications.

Millersville, MD (PRWEB) July 24, 2008 -- The unique European-designed LOOP structural glass hardware system from DORMA Glas (www.dorma-usa.com) has crossed the Atlantic to offer architects in North America a contemporary design and reliable performance for all glass facades, canopies and overhead applications.

The stainless-steel LOOP system derives its name from its circular shape. LOOP clamping brackets provide a distinctive way to connect adjacent glass panels of all types and thicknesses at their intersection to form interior or exterior wall assemblies. The fitting requires no preparation of the glass, eliminating the need for drilling or machining before installation. The LOOP's steel retaining ring imparts the ideal grip pressure to maintain the position of glass panels. It also provides a reliable hold for tie rods or cabletype bracing arrangements for wall, floor and ceiling connections.

The patented system has been tested and approved in accordance with the requirements of DIN 185.16, Part 4.

The LOOP system is part of the versatile DORMA Glas structural glass hardware line, which includes the GlassFin Spider System, MANET CONSTRUCT, RODAN, and V Spider System.
