Key Features of the Vertiflex Guillotine Glass System

4x4 System

Vertiflex is designed with a four-wheel stabilizer system.

The system can be installed for heights of up to 4 meters and widths of up to 4 meters, with a maximum of 4 panels.

This design makes it possible to enclose wide openings using an automatic guillotine glass system.

SafeGuard Panel Connection System

The SafeGuard panel connection system used in Vertiflex ensures that the connection between the chain and the panels is secure and robust.

This mechanical connection provides extra security against the chain becoming detached from the panel connection points.

Patented Lid System That Helps Prevent Finger Pinch Injuries

The patented movable cover profile is designed to reduce the risk of hands and fingers getting pinched in the panel’s range of motion as the system opens and closes.

This feature provides a significant safety advantage, particularly in locations with children and in high-traffic commercial areas.

High Insulation Performance

EPDM gaskets and bristle brushes are used in Vertiflex’s profile and panel joints.

Thanks to the special double-seal design in the side mullion profiles, either a bristle brush or a CF foam insulation gasket can be used, depending on the application.

These details help enhance the system’s insulation performance against air and external environmental conditions.

Quiet and Comfortable Movement

Albert Genau’s G-Motion movement system was developed to ensure that the panels move smoothly and comfortably.

The wheels located on the edges of the panels move within special wheel channels in the tracks, helping the system operate in a controlled and balanced manner.

Precision Adjustment Mechanism

The precision adjustment mechanism in Vertiflex helps prevent the panels from moving unevenly.

The ability to adjust the chain as needed via the side post covers simplifies system maintenance and adjustment procedures.

Easy Installation and Fast Service

Thanks to its modular side-mount profile and separate motor housing, installation and servicing of the Vertiflex are simplified.

When servicing is required, the necessary sections can be accessed without having to disassemble the entire system.

Robust Chain System for Heavy Panels

Vertiflex is designed with a dual-steel-chain transport system suitable for moving large and heavy glass panels.

According to the manufacturer’s specifications, the chains used have a link thickness of 8.51 mm to 14.75 mm, and each chain has a load capacity of 400 kg.

This design helps ensure the safe movement of large and heavy panels.

Albert Genau Motor

The Albert Genau motor is included as standard in the Vertiflex automatic guillotine glass system.

The manufacturer states that the motor is manufactured in Italy and comes with a 5-year warranty.

Thanks to the motorized design, the system can be controlled automatically without the need to manually raise or lower the glass panels.

Vertiflex Twin Has Been Tested and Approved

The Vertiflex Twin double-pane sash window system has undergone various performance tests at the European-certified PfB Technical Institute.

As part of the tests, the following performance criteria were evaluated:

  • Water tightness
  • Air permeability
  • Impact resistance
  • Wind load resistance

The manufacturer states that the test results meet high-class standards according to European Union norms.

These tests provide important technical references for evaluating the system’s performance under various outdoor environmental conditions.

4x2 Reinforced Panels

In Vertiflex, glass-carrying panels are mechanically fastened with a total of 8 screws—two at each corner.

Unlike systems that rely solely on chemical adhesives, this mechanical fastening system provides mechanical reinforcement for the panel joints.

This increases the durability of the panel connections and provides additional security against the panels separating from one another.

Fully Automatic System

Thanks to radio frequency technology, Vertiflex allows you to control the system’s functions from a single remote control.

With the remote control, you can easily move the glass panels up or down and switch between open and closed positions.

The fully automatic operation feature enhances user convenience, particularly in restaurants, cafes, hotels, and commercial establishments.

Flexible System Options

Vertiflex is designed to adapt to different architectural and usage requirements.

The system can be implemented as:

  • 2-panel
  • 3-panel
  • 4-panel

configurations.

Additionally, depending on the application, frameless or top-retracting system options can be considered.

Thanks to this flexible design, solutions for different project needs can be created using a single system platform.

Maximum Panoramic View

The Vertiflex design aims to highlight the glass surface by optimizing the thickness of the vertical and horizontal profiles as much as possible.

The larger transparent surface provides a wider field of view both from the outside in and from the inside out.

In areas where the view is important—such as balconies, terraces, restaurants, and cafes—the panoramic view is one of the system’s standout advantages.

Hidden Connection Details and Aesthetic Appeal

In Vertiflex, channels in the side mullion profiles where there is no movement are closed off with specially designed cover profiles.

In addition, the panel connection details are designed as hidden connections to ensure that mechanical connection points are as inconspicuous as possible.

This design approach contributes to the system having a simpler, more modern, and more cohesive appearance.

Anti-Fingerprint Paint

Vertiflex uses anti-fingerprint paint on its aluminum profiles.

This special paint formulation helps reduce the appearance of fingerprints and smudges.

It helps keep profile surfaces looking cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing, especially in high-traffic areas such as balconies, restaurants, cafes, and commercial spaces.

Vertiflex Glass Options

Vertiflex can be installed with a variety of glass options to suit different needs.

8 mm Glass

An 8-mm glass option is available for single-pane installations.

10 mm Glass

For applications requiring thicker glass, the 10-mm glass option may be considered.

Insulated Glass

The Vertiflex system with insulated glass may be preferred in projects where higher thermal and acoustic comfort is the goal.

The choice of glass should be determined based on the dimensions of the application area, the intended use, insulation requirements, and project details.
