Infrastructure

We are the most important Mexican consortium in glass and aluminum.

Our great infrastructure and financial solidity reduce risks and lead to success in each architectural project.

We contribute our experience in the design, specification, engineering, construction management, supply and installation of glass and aluminum, of the most ambitious architectural and industrial developments in the country. Developments such as: Industrial buildings, Offices, Mixed uses, Residential, Tourist and Shopping centers.

The team of experienced professionals is made up of engineers and architects, dedicated to complete customer satisfaction. We develop innovative, functional and efficient proposals with the highest standards of quality and functionality.

Anti-hurricane System

Designed to withstand strong winds greater than 250 km/hr and in extreme adverse environmental conditions. Its structure is composed of a special transparent polymer SentryGlas® placed between two glasses. It is capable of absorbing impacts from objects shot by strong wind gusts and preventing them from passing through windows.

Resist wind

  • 3 second gusts of 234 km/h with resulting pressures/suctions per ASCE 7 (approx. 450 kg/m2) without fracturing.

Resist impacts

  • Three Level A Impacts (small missile impact) – for heights greater than 9.1 m
  • Two Level D impacts (large missile impact) – for heights up to 9.1 m
  • In this test the glass can fracture, but it can NOT penetrate the impacted object. The glass MUST NOT have any openings.

Once the glass is fractured, it must withstand a final test of:

  • 9000 cycles of wind pressure and suction of 440 kg/m2, equivalent to 305 km/hr, this represents sustained winds.
  • ASTM E 1996 defines 5 levels of impacts.
  • Small missile (Level A) 10 steel pellets of 8 mm (2 grams) each, impacting at 143 km/h.
  • Large missile (Level B) 0.91 kg wooden spear, impacting at 55 km/h.
  • Large missile (Level C) 2.05 kg wooden spear, impacting at 44 km/h.
  • Large missile (Level D) 4.10 kg wooden spear, impacting at 55 km/h.
  • Large missile (Level E) 4.10 kg wooden spear, impacting at 88 km/h.

It consists of joining two or more pieces of glass by means of Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) or SentryGlas® applying pressure and controlled heat.

  • Safety glass
  • Acoustic insulation
  • Protects 99% of UV rays
  • Resistant
  • Anti-vandalism (does not take off)

Units made up of two or more glasses that hermetically connate an air space trapped between an aluminum separator, the air trapped between the glasses is dehydrated with a desiccant that is integrated into the same spacer, creating a thermal and/or acoustic insulator.

  • Thermal insulation
  • Acoustic insulation
  • Savings in energy consumption
