How Does Guillotine Glass Work?
In a guillotine glass system, the panels slide upward along vertical rails on each side. The system is built on a high-torque motor and a steel cable/belt mechanism. Panels move vertically without vibration; the user can ventilate or fully close the space with a single button. Thanks to the balance system, you can fix the glass at any height you wish.
Guillotine Glass Models
Motorized Guillotine Glass
With Somfy or Becker motors, panels open and close automatically via remote or button. The most comfortable solution for high floors and wide openings.
Manual Guillotine Glass
Panels move easily by hand with the help of a balance mechanism. Suitable for those seeking a more economical solution.
Double-Glazed Guillotine Glass
Provides heat and sound insulation with an insulated glass unit (4+12+4). Ideal for winter gardens, restaurants and four-season areas.
Wipeable Guillotine Glass
A special inward-opening hinge system makes cleaning the outer glass surface easier in high-rise buildings.

Where Is Guillotine Glass Used?
Guillotine glass systems are most preferred on cafe and restaurant facades, for terrace enclosures, in winter gardens and on villa balconies. They are especially valuable for businesses: the facade opens fully on nice days and closes in cold weather, making the outdoor seating area usable all year round.
Guillotine Glass Prices
The price depends on dimensions, motorized or manual choice, glass type (single or insulated) and the number of panels. Motorized and double-glazed systems cost more than manual and single-glazed ones. For a precise quote, use the Calculate Price tool above or request a free site survey.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to a motorized guillotine glass during a power outage?
Motorized systems have an emergency mechanism allowing manual operation during a power cut. The system does not stay locked.
Does guillotine glass leak water?
A properly produced system with correctly fitted gaskets does not leak rainwater. Our systems include drainage channels that safely discharge water.
Which is better, guillotine glass or sliding glass balcony?
They serve different needs. In narrow spaces with no opening clearance, guillotine glass is advantageous because it moves vertically. On wide balconies, sliding systems also work well. We recommend the best option during the survey.
