Motorized Guillotine Glass
Fully automatic automation that moves vertically from bottom to top and turns into a stylish glass balustrade when open. Heavy-duty motors resisting Istanbul's lodos winds and insulated glass-compatible insulation shield.
3 Major Advantages of Automatic Guillotine Glass
The most prestigious architectural solution that transforms the outdoors into a comfortable indoor space with a single touch in cafes, restaurants, and villa terraces.
Handrail (Balustrade) Function
When the system is completely opened, the glass panels do not collect on the floor; the lowest fixed panel stays in place and acts as a stylish and safe glass handrail that cuts the wind.
Maximum Ventilation
You can stop the glasses at any height you want via the remote control. Thus, you protect your customers from the wind while evacuating the polluted air inside from the top.
Double Glazing (Insulated) Insulation
Thanks to its heavy motor infrastructure, it easily lifts Argon gas insulated glass panels. While saving on natural gas in winter, it keeps the air conditioning coolness inside in summer.
International Torque Power (Nm) and Steel Transmission Mechanism
In systems moving vertically from bottom to top, the motor and transmission chains bear the entire load of the job. Incorrectly calculated motors burn out in a short time and the glasses remain suspended.
Our engineers calculate the motor torque according to the total weight of the panels (glass mass + aluminum tare). In our projects in Istanbul, we use internationally certified tubular motors with 120 Nm / 140 Nm power (Overheating/thermal protected) to lift wide spans smoothly.
Stainless Steel Chain or Timing Belt
The transmission system that lifts the panels is provided with fully resistant steel hardware against breaking and friction.
Safe Anti-Fall Brake
In the event of a power outage or malfunction, the magnetic brake inside the motor engages and prevents the glass from falling down.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the guillotine glass system cleaned? Is it difficult to wipe from the outside?
Wiping the outer glasses in old generation systems was a big problem. However, thanks to the special "Tilt-and-Clean Scissor" hardware in our new generation heavy-duty Guillotine systems, the panels are released from their pins and tilted inward 45 degrees, allowing them to be cleaned easily and safely without leaning outside.
What happens if a hand gets caught while the system is closing?
There is an Electronic Encoder (Obstacle Recognition Sensor) in our automation infrastructure. When the system encounters an obstacle or jamming (child, hand, object, etc.) while rising, it feels the resistance, stops instantly, and pulls the glass back 10 cm, preventing accidents.
Why are motorized guillotine glass m2 prices more expensive than standard glass balconies?
The aluminum profile (frame) thickness used in guillotine systems is very high. In addition, a large part of the cost consists of strong industrial tubular motors that lift the panels, steel transmission belts, and electronic receiver boards. With the customer comfort and space-saving it provides in commercial venues, it pays for itself in a short time.
