Fluid X Vertical (Structural Glazing)

Fluid X Vertical is the purest expression of structural glazing—walls of uninterrupted glass that create clarity, openness, and visual stillness.

With no visible frames and floor-to-ceiling spans, it allows architecture to dissolve into light and landscape. Whether defining exterior façades or internal partitions, Fluid X Vertical introduces natural light and spaciousness without compromise. It offers more than transparency—it shapes atmosphere, elevates material contrast, and brings architectural intention into sharp focus.

Technical Specifications

Fluid X Vertical combines high-performance glazing with a refined, minimalist system. With slim sightlines, exceptional thermal and acoustic performance, and a wide range of glass and finish options, it offers strength, flexibility, and seamless integration into any architectural vision.

The absence of visible structure creates a calm, monolithic presence that enhances the surrounding materials, views, and spatial flow.

Architecture

Whether used in bold contemporary forms or integrated into sensitive restorations, it offers a timeless visual language that feels simultaneously grounded and weightless.

Monolithic and Minimal
Each installation becomes part of the architectural fabric—fixed glass panels sit seamlessly within floor, ceiling, or wall junctions. The result is a quiet yet powerful design gesture that blurs boundaries and expands perception.

Transparency with Intent
By eliminating frames, mullions, and visual clutter, Fluid X Vertical turns light and reflection into architectural tools. It captures sky, landscape, and interior with clarity, offering visual connections that shift subtly throughout the day.

Beneath its simplicity, Fluid X Vertical is underpinned by precise engineering and rigorous technical control.

Technology

Designed for both interior and exterior use, it supports large-scale glazing with exceptional thermal and structural performance.

High-Performance Glazing
With options for double and triple-glazed units up to 60mm, Fluid X Vertical offers thermal values as low as 0.75 W/m²K. Low-emissivity and solar control coatings ensure year-round comfort, while low-iron glass maximises clarity and light transmission.

Invisible Strength
Using structural silicone bonding and hidden fixing techniques, glass panels can be joined edge-to-edge with slim, precision-set tolerances. The result is a perfectly flush finish, engineered to meet wind loads, impact resistance, and acoustic requirements without visible compromise.

Every Fluid X Vertical installation is bespoke—tailored to the architectural vision and site conditions.

Design

Glass types, thicknesses, coatings, and tints are carefully specified to balance visual clarity with performance. Whether defining a stairwell, framing a view, or shaping an entire façade, Fluid X Vertical offers infinite possibilities through one material: glass.

Precision in Every Detail
Junctions are seamless. Reflections are clean. Edges align. Every line and shadow is deliberate—crafted to elevate the architecture, not distract from it.

A Canvas for Architecture
More than a feature, Fluid X Vertical becomes the surface upon which light, space, and structure converge. It is glazing reduced to its most essential form—quiet, powerful, and undeniably architectural.
