Aesthetically Functional Facades

Custom designed operable glass louvres are an excellent option for building

facades, apartment balconies, internal office screens or partitions, outdoor

entertaining spaces and in public bars and entertainment facilities. With AGP

operable glass louvre systems, the potential applications are limitless.

AGP firsted developed its frameless glass louvre

system for the Macquarie Apartments project in

Sydney, completed in 2001. The architect, Renzo

Piano, had a grand vision for a completely frameless

glass louvre facade overlooking the Royal Botanic

Gardens and AGP, in conjunction with Bovis

Lend Lease and Arup, proceeded to redefine the

frameless glass louvre market in Australia.

This project spawned the AGP Fullview Series

operable glass louvre system, which apart from the

striking facade it created, provided wintergarden

spaces for each apartment, giving the occupants

environmentally beneficial natural ventilation

alternatives and the ability to use these outdoor

space all year round.

From this initial design, in 2002 AGP developed the

more practical and cost effective Fineline Series

louvre system, by replacing the structural glass fins

with aluminium mullions, enclosing most of the

linkage mechanisms, for a more streamlined system.

Reacting to market requests for a more weather

resistant louvre facade, the Fineline-XT system

was created in 2003 and opened up many new

applications for frameless glass louvres, as well as

the benefit of smoke ventilation that has seen it

used in many large commerial buildings.

And in 2007, the Fineline-XTS system was

developed with The Buchan Group to for

the prestigious Lucient Apartments project in

Melbourne.

maximise the amount of all year round

liveable space, with the added bonus of

providing a striking facade presence.

With AGP Fineline louvres the Individual users are able

to choose between opening up a space to the natural

environment during pleasant weather, or closing it off

when protection from inclement weather is required.

The operable glass louvres are supported by vertical

aluminium mullions that have the operation mechanisms

contained within, for safety and protection from the

weather. Hiding the mechanisms within the mullions also

gives the system a neat, clean and attractive appearance.

Slimline ShuttersThe AGP Fineline-XT operable glass louvre

system is a revolution in frameless glass

louvre technology, providing an elegant

frameless design that doesn’t compromise

the practical requirements of a weather

resistant louvre system.

Continually looking at ways to improve their operable

facades, AGP has taken the Fineline Series louvres and

designed additional weather protection features to

provide a system better suited for protection from

inclement weather.

Developed over many years the AGP Fineline-XT Series

is, in our opinion, the best possible balance of form

and function, being as close to weatherproof as can be

achieved with frameless glass louvres. Horizontal weather

protection between each louvre blade is achieved by

fitting a bulb seal to the bottom edge of each louvre blade.

By achieving a weather seal in a frameless louvre design,

the AGP Fineline-XT system is also suitable for a variety of

commercial applications.

A bottom louvre opening in the opposite

direction makes the Fineline-XTS system

ideal for apartment wintergardens.

A variation to the Fineline-XT, the Fineline-XTS operable

glass louvres feature a special mechanism within the

mullions that allows the top operable louvres to open

upwards while the bottom operable louvres open

downwards (as opposed to all louvres opening and

closing in the same direction). This provides a greater

clear opening space in the vision area whilst still providing

weather protection.

Glazed Roofs & AwningsThe first building in the world to have a fully operable facade,

structurally supported by glass, was the Macquarie Apartments

in Sydney. AGP Fullview Series operable glass louvres were used

to create a striking and unique glass facade for this prestigious

residential apartment building.

AGP Fullview series operable glass louvres are able to provide optimum clarity and

unobstructed vision. Unlike our Fineline, XT and XTS Series louvres which are supported by

vertical aluminium mullions, AGP Fullview series louvres are designed with structural glass

fins that extend the full height from floor to ceiling. Special pivot bearings and axles enable

the two fins of glass to act as an assembly and any deflections caused by movement in the

building are accommodated by this fin assembly. An internal balustrade can also be fully

supported by the glass fins to further enhance the unique design.
