What is a glass windscreen?

A glass windscreen for exterior spaces is a protective barrier made entirely or primarily of glass, designed to shield outdoor areas from wind, debris, and other environmental elements. It serves as a transparent or semi-transparent enclosure that allows for an unobstructed view of the surroundings while providing a barrier against the elements.

Glass windscreens are commonly used in outdoor spaces such as balconies, terraces, patios, and rooftop areas. They offer a modern and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional barriers like walls or fences, as they maintain a sense of openness and preserve the visual connection with the outdoors.

These windscreens are engineered to be durable and weather-resistant, ensuring they can withstand various climatic conditions. They are available in different styles and configurations, allowing for customization to suit specific design preferences and functional requirements.

Metropolis overview
