Segmented Walls
A segmented wall utilizes incremental flat glass segments to achieve a curved, stepped, or sawtooth aesthetic. For curved walls flat glass panels are possible in lieu of costly hot bent glass.
VS1 is extremely well suited for segmented walls because the system has no horizontal transom, which also increases transparency. The system's one way framing strategy greatly simplifies the implementation of these types of walls, resulting in excellent value for the owner.
