As part of the partial renovation of the elementary school in Pfyn, 11 GLASSFLOOR Chrome skylights provide an impressive supply of daylight in the basement.
The walk-on, non-slip flat roof windows not only bring natural daylight into the underground passageway to the classrooms, but also serve as a safe break area for the children.


Thanks to its perfect integration into the architecture, the GLASSFLOOR Chrome from Heliobus sets modern accents and improves both the quality of light and the indoor climate.

18 GLASSFLOOR for residential building with practice/commercial premises

In this construction project, 18 GLASSFLOOR of the "chrome" and "pure" types were installed. These innovative glass floors make it possible to direct daylight into the basement, naturally illuminating the commercial spaces below and creating a pleasant atmosphere. The GLASSFLOOR are fully slip-resistant and walkable, making them safe and practical to use. The result is a successful combination of functionality and aesthetics that benefits both the residential and commercial spaces.

In the new construction of the Kočevje kindergarten in Slovenia, four walk-on skylights of the design GLASSFLOOR circle were installed on the terrace, where a large playground offers space to play. The round skylights are walkable and non-slip and allow the children to play safely in the playground. The glass creates new architectural accents and at the same time provides more daylight in the rooms below.

The collaboration took place with the Svet Vmes architectural office, which has already planned and implemented numerous innovative school projects in Slovenia.

In the garden of the modern new building on a slope, three round skylights, each with a diameter of approx. 1 metre, were recessed at ground level. The underground car park gains lightness and dynamism thanks to the daylight.

In this detached house on a slope, two skylights illuminate the basement with daylight. The skylights, of the GLASSFLOOR chrome, are integrated into the terrace without thresholds and direct daylight into the rooms below. The basic anti-slip coating ensures optimum anti-slip protection on the terrace and sufficient daylight in the basement, as it is very translucent.

A long skylight strip of 20 x 1 m brings daylight into the swimming hall below. Another skylight strip of 8.5 x 0.7 m was installed on one of the seating areas for a daylit fitness room. The planning and elaboration was done in cooperation with the architectural office Glasnhof (https://www.glasnhof.de) GLASSFLOOR installed the custom-made product on site.

The GLASSFLOOR creates a link between nature and architecture and gives rise to a cosy atmosphere in the detached house: natural daylight shines into the staircase. The project included specific advice from Heliobus AG and was planned in collaboration with architektur | raumdesign rosemarie säuberli (rsauberli.ch). The generous skylight is custom-made (3180 x 1050 mm) with glass division and was supplied including a matching insulation frame.

As part of a basement renovation, a custom-made version of the GLASSFLOOR chrome was installed. The walkable skylight blends discreetly into the surroundings without any thresholds and without any loss of surface area - a clear gain in space and aesthetics compared to the previous glazing.

During the renovation and general refurbishment of the Waltenhofen primary and secondary school, three GLASSFLOOR chrome were installed in the playground to provide the corridor below with daylight. The skylights are custom-made with dimensions of 2.3 x 0.8 metres.

The new building of the Ried primary school in Köniz (BE) vividly demonstrates the qualities of GLASSFLOOR - dense building without loss of daylight. The 24 aesthetic skylights blend harmoniously into the playground and at the same time provide the sports hall below with daylight. The system solution of GLASSFLOOR and insulation frames simplifies installation and ensures optimal external sealing. All skylights could thus be installed within a few days.

Two superimposed GLASSFLOOR provide for more daylight incidence and width of the rooms. The elegant design of the GLASSFLOOR pure blends harmoniously into the living environment.

Above: accessible and drivable floor glazing of the break yard. Below: Daylight for a bright and pleasant room atmosphere in corridors and workrooms. Seven GLASSFLOOR pure are installed in the two break areas of the Töss school complex. Despite their large glass surfaces, these skylights meet enormous static requirements: a point load of 2 tonnes per 20x20 cm and an area load of one tonne per square metre.

Six GLASSFLOOR circle with a diameter of 100 cm, reveal mirroring and room closure bring daylight into the sterile corridor of the clinic. The waiting area for patients benefits from five round skylights.

A passarelle connects two houses of a retirement home. Eight rectangular GLASSFLOOR chrome (250 x 80 cm) provide the passageway with changing daylight in an unconventional arrangement, bringing playfulness and lightness. Thanks to the flush installation, the upper unit remains barrier-free walkable.

Elegantly eight GLASSFLOOR pure in the fire brigade magazine and workshop in Hünibach. The terrace can thus be used as a barrier-free break location and meeting place. At the same time, the rooms below benefit from the zenith light.

Three rectangular GLASSFLOOR chrome with dimensions of 250 x 80 cm illuminate a private indoor swimming pool and set accents in the interior. Outdoors, the focus is on aesthetics.

The square GLASSFLOOR chrome blends seamlessly and elegantly into the terrace of the detached house and offers the interior reference to the weather and time of day.

Two large skylights with glass divisions bring daylight into the chalet's bath and shower area. The heated interior glass reduces condensation. The full-surface slip resistance also serves as a privacy screen. The terrace remains barrier-free walkable.

On the ground floor of a commercial building in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 5 GLASSFLOORof 100 x 100 cm were installed. The skylights are equipped with very translucent slip resistance (BFU-tested). Furthermore, the glass floor is passable for vehicles up to max. 3.5 t gross weight or individual load up to max. 1 t.

The walkable skylight was used here as a light band to make the dining area below more friendly and brighter. The full-surface anti-slip surface also serves as a privacy screen.

In order to obtain an optimum proportion of daylight for the workshop in the basement, two skylights measuring 100 x 100 cm were recessed into the terrace. The accessibility ensures the barrier-free use of the veranda for the family.
