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.

In a recently completed construction project, 18 GLASSFLOORs of the "Chrome" and "Pure" types were installed. With full-surface slip resistance, these innovative and walk-on glass floors allow daylight to penetrate basement , illuminating the commercial spaces below. Planning and installation were carried out by Heliobus AG, which led to an exciting and functional result.

Four walkable skylights blend harmoniously into the playground of the new Kočevje Kindergarten building in Slovenia. The rooms below are flooded with plenty of daylight and new, exciting perspectives are created for the children. The round skylights of the Glassfloor circle design can be walked on and are slip-proof for hazard-free romping during recess. The collaboration took place with the architectural firm Svet Vmes, which has already innovatively planned and implemented numerous school projects in Slovenia.

A long skylight strip of 20 x 1 m floods the swimming hall below with daylight. 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. GLASSFLOOR installed the custom-made system on site.

Seven GLASSFLOOR are installed on the two break areas of the Töss school complex. Despite their large glass surface, the skylights meet enormous structural requirements: a point load of 2 tons per 20×20 cm and a surface load of one ton per square meter. The skylights can thus even be driven over. A slip resistance ensures that children can play safely no matter what the weather.

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

At the St.Leonhard-Strasse in St.Gallen, the busy intersection is to be freed from non-motorised traffic. For this purpose, a bicycle tunnel is planned under the intersection. In order to make the underground tunnel as pleasant as possible for cyclists and pedestrians, light is to be brought into the tunnel via various daylight systems. Heliobus® was consulted as a daylight expert from the very beginning in order to create the most pleasant atmosphere possible in the tunnel.

Six GLASSFLOOR circles 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. In addition, two daylight shafts were installed in the recovery room. Daylight has been proven not only to promote health and recovery, but also to increase well-being.

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.

A passageway 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 and bring playfulness and lightness. Thanks to the flush installation, the upper unit remains accessible without barriers.

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

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 accessible without barriers.

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.

Eight pure Glassfloor are elegantly integrated into 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.

Two GLASSFLOORs, one above the other, provide more daylight and space in the rooms. The elegant design of the GLASSFLOOR pure blends harmoniously into the living environment.
