GM KUB - Luminous Ceilings Made Of Glass

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses point-fixed systems for luminous ceilings made of glass, focusing on three main systems: GM KUB, GM SOB, and GM CBV. These systems are designed to enhance architectural aesthetics by providing frameless, open-joint assembly for luminous ceilings, allowing for both partial and extensive lighting effects.
GM KUB System: This elegant attachment system allows for tool-free assembly and disassembly of glass elements. It features raised visible brackets and is approved under German building inspection (AbZ No. Z-70.3-144). The system supports large glass dimensions, offering significant architectural freedom. Glass elements are held at the edges without drilling, using a patented suspension system.
GM SOB System: Known for its flexibility, this flush-mounted system also allows for tool-free assembly and disassembly. It is designed for seamless integration into luminous ceilings, providing a clean and unobtrusive appearance.
GM CBV System: This system is characterized by its swivelling light strip attachment, offering three different attachment variations. It is flush-mounted and designed to accommodate various lighting configurations.
Technical Specifications: The document provides detailed specifications for glass thickness, materials used (such as stainless steel and anodized aluminum), and the structural design of the systems. It also outlines the maximum dimensions for glass elements as per German regulations.
Installation and Maintenance: Glas Marte Bregenz offers customized assembly equipment for specific projects, ensuring ease of installation and maintenance. The systems are designed for easy access to installations above the luminous ceilings for maintenance purposes.
Applications: The systems are suitable for various architectural projects, including museums like the Kunsthaus Bregenz, where uniform light distribution is crucial.
Specifications: The document outlines specifications for various types of glass used in construction, including float glass and partially tempered glass (hSG). It details dimensions, such as maximum plate width and length, and thickness options like 2 x 5 mm and 2 x 6 mm. Certain glass types are only permissible for widths up to 1400 mm.
Procedures: The GM SOB system is a flexible attachment system for luminous ceilings, designed to be flush-mounted and point-fixed, primarily at the corners of glass elements. It uses stainless steel brackets with plastic or rubber contact points. The system allows for vertical adjustability and supports assembly tolerances in x and y directions.
Norms and Recommendations: All screwed connections must be secured appropriately, for example, using Loctite. The GM CBV system is designed for light strips in public buildings and offices, offering several bracket types (GM CBV 1, 2, and 3) for different glass thicknesses (8-12 mm). These brackets allow for easy assembly and disassembly without tools.
Key Data from Tables: The tables provide detailed information on glass thickness, item numbers, contact plate dimensions, suspension height, and materials used, such as stainless steel and EPDM plastic.
Assembly and Maintenance: The GM SOB and GM CBV systems allow for tool-free assembly and disassembly of ceiling glass panels. The GM CBV brackets can be adjusted multiple times and allow for simple unlocking and folding of glass panels for maintenance purposes.
Specifications: The document outlines the specifications for various GM CBV brackets used in glass installations. The GM CBV 1 bracket can be adjusted with a set screw for wall region alignment, allowing a +/- 3° adjustment. The GM CBV 2 bracket can be unlocked by lifting the glass elements and rotating the bracket using an assembly tool, which is also useful for maintenance. The GM CBV 3 bracket allows for swiveling by lifting and sliding the glass elements, with a compensation for wall unevenness using a set screw at an angle α up to 5°.
Materials: The brackets are designed for glass thicknesses of 8-12 mm and are made from milled and turned parts of anodized aluminum, stainless steel 1.4301, and EPDM plastic. Bolts and nuts are made from stainless steel A2 (1.4301).
Procedures: Drilling holes in the glass is available upon request, and all screwed connections must be secured appropriately, for example, using Loctite.
Recommendations: Special glazing situations require specific system solutions. Glas Marte offers high-quality solutions beyond the point-fixed systems for luminous glass ceilings mentioned in the document. For more information, customers are encouraged to contact Glas Marte or visit their website.
Projects: The document references several projects where Glas Marte systems have been used, including the Royal Bank of Scotland in London, Kunsthaus in Bregenz, and the Sony Center in Berlin.

2 Pleasant light and an open space design substantially contribute to the sense of wellbeing in closed spaces. Luminous ceilings are an architecturally extraordinary possibility to stage light sources and spaciousness. For that, the point-fixed attachment systems for luminous ceilings of Glas Marte enable open-joint, frameless assembly. Thus, the desired accent lighting is optimally highlighted partially as well as over large areas. Une lumière agréable et une décoration d’intérieur sincère contribuent énormément à un sentiment de bien-être dans des pièces fermées. Du point de vue architectural,...

4 With the attachment system GM KUB of Glas Marte Bregenz, glass elements are held at the edges without any drilling or cutting. The suspension of the glass fields is based on a limitedly slidable and suspendable glass attachment system (patent Glas Marte Bregenz). Therewith, any glass field – regardless of the arrangement in the luminous ceiling – can be disassembled without any tools anytime. The new, almost unlimited glass dimensions, too, enable particular architectural freedom. Les éléments en verre sont sertis aux rebords sans perçages ni entailles grâce au système de fixation GM KUB de...

7 In a predetermined pattern, C-profiles of steel are assembled on site with high dimensional accuracy. In these rails, slide blocks are located, which enable fine adjustment of the suspension. The suspension unit is assembled via a stainless steel suspension bar as well as a turnbuckle nut for height adjustment. Pieces of aluminium U-profile are glued to the glass plates at the factory already, which, limited with a protruding lug, are elastically embedded into a support jaw. The support jaw is raised on the visible side of the glass. The individual glass fields as such become framelessly visible....
