FAQ / GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently Asked Questions

01How does guillotine glass differ from classic balcony glazing?

Guillotine panels move vertically — opening from the bottom, the top or both — leaving the opening free of thresholds and frame clutter. In classic balcony glazing the panels fold or slide sideways; guillotine is the choice for view façades and café-restaurant fronts.

02How much does guillotine glass cost per m²?

The price depends on size, motor type and glass choice (single/insulated, tempered), so a reliable figure needs your measurements. The site survey and measuring are free — we deliver a clear made-to-measure quotation the same day.

03Is motorised guillotine glass safe?

Yes — the obstacle-detecting motor option stops the system instantly if a panel meets resistance while moving. Manual operation remains possible during a power cut, and Somfy motors carry a five-year international warranty.
