Guillotine Closure

Guillotine window systems started to gain more interest in recent years. Most people ask about the benefits of installing a guillotine closure system in their spaces. The general publicity of guillotine action window and door systems in the architectural world helped this kind of product get realized by architects, business owners, and end-users. So what are these guillotine systems, where are they mostly used and what are the benefits of selecting a guillotine action system for an architectural opening? In this article, we will tackle this issue for those who would like to find out more about guillotine window and door systems.

The guillotine systems take their names from the medieval guillotine tool. Luckily its name and the movement direction is the only inspiration for the guillotine window so take a deep breath there before jumping to conclusions! The guillotine window has two or more framed panels that move vertically. This up and down movement creates a passage in the case of a guillotine door system and it creates a balustrade in the case of a guillotine window system.

Some surfaces are special in a space. They require flexibility, adaptability. When a space does not have a static function, a static surface would not do good for that space. Dynamic functions prerequisite dynamic architectural design. For instance, a wall between a living room and a garden might feel like a depressing barrier in summer. A guillotine closure would be a perfect system for this kind of case. In summer the door disappears and lets the passerby inhale the beautiful summer breeze in the room. These guillotine closures are also very good additions to venues. Libart is a manufacturer that has its sign-on hundreds of projects around the world which can be presented as successful examples of commercial guillotine usage. The hotels, cafes, and bars can really benefit from this kind of space configuration thanks to the flexibility guillotine closure systems provide.
