Modern architecture increasingly relies on large, heavy glazing, which provides maximum lighting and an "open space" effect. However, the installation of such structures requires specialized equipment and experience. At Vindue, we use spider cranes with professional suction cups, as this is the only solution that guarantees safety, precision, and a perfect end result.
What are large dimensions in window joinery?
Large dimensions include, among others:
- HST patio windows,
- panoramic glazing,
- permanent structures with large glass surfaces,
- wings weighing up to several hundred kilograms.
In such projects , manual assembly is neither safe nor precise.
Why is standard installation not sufficient?
Large glazed areas pose real risks:
- risk of glass damage,
- structural overload,
- lack of precision in mounting,
- a hazard to installers.
That is why at Vindue we do not improvise – we use equipment designed specifically for such projects.
Spider crane – precision and safety
A spider crane is a compact lifting device that:
- enables installation in hard-to-reach places,
- works inside and outside the building,
- provides complete control over heavy glazing.
Why "spider"?
- small size of the device,
- possibility of working on finished floors,
- Precise positioning of glass to the millimeter.
Glass suction cups – control over every kilogram
Professional vacuum suction cups are a key element, which:
- hold the glass securely in place,
- eliminate the risk of slipping,
- allow for precise maneuvering of the glass package.
This ensures stress-free installation and safety for the window structure.
Why is precision installation important for large glazing?
Incorrect installation of a large window can lead to:
- problems with moving the wings,
- leaks,
- excessive profile loads,
- shortening the service life of the window.
Installation using a spider crane allows you to:
- level the structure perfectly,
- correctly transfer the weight to the foundations,
- maintain full system functionality.
Large-scale glazing and airtight installation
At Vindue, we combine large glazing with:
- foundations milled to profile,
- tight layered installation,
- control of each stage of implementation.
This allows even very heavy structures to retain their parameters for years.
Our own installation team – full responsibility
Glazing large areas requires:
- experiences,
- coordination,
- appropriate procedures.
That's why at Vindue:
- we work exclusively with our own team,
- we use dedicated equipment,
- We are responsible for the entire process – from transport to final adjustment.
This is another factor that allows us to offer a 20-year Vindue warranty.
Summary – large glazing requires professional solutions
Large-size glazing:
- is not a place for compromises,
- requires technology and experience,
- directly affects the durability of the entire investment.
Spider lifts and vacuum suction cups are the premium standard we use at Vindue for the most demanding projects.
