Guillotine Glass Systems
Motorized vertical-moving glass façade solutions

Guillotine glass systems are modern glass enclosure solutions in which glass panels move vertically using a motorized mechanism. They are designed for cafés, restaurants, terraces, balconies, verandas and winter gardens where controlled opening and a wide uninterrupted view are required.
The correct system is not determined by the motor alone. Opening dimensions, number of panels, glass specification, lower-panel configuration, aluminium profile structure, wind exposure, connections to the existing building and drainage details should be evaluated together.
Motorized guillotine glass is especially effective in commercial spaces that need a fast transition between open and enclosed use, while villas, terraces and balconies benefit from the wide view and clean façade appearance. Depending on the design, the lower panel may also function as a balustrade.
Guillotine glass prices depend on dimensions, number of panels, glass thickness, motor and automation, profile colour, installation conditions and project-specific details. Hanedan Cam provides custom manufacturing and professional installation across Istanbul.

In a motorized guillotine glass system, the panels move vertically within the structural profiles. The user controls the opening by remote control or automation, and the panel position can be adjusted according to the required opening. Depending on the project, the lower panel may remain fixed or form part of the moving system at balustrade height.
Motor capacity should match the total dimensions and moving glass weight. Tempered or laminated glass can be evaluated according to the opening, usage intensity and safety requirements. Correct aluminium profiles, connections and movement mechanisms are essential for balanced, quiet and long-term operation.
Guillotine glass is particularly suitable for café and restaurant façades that need quick transitions between open and enclosed use. On terraces, balconies, verandas and winter gardens, the vertical movement helps manage wind and rain exposure while preserving the view without creating a stack of folding panels in front of the seating area.
Guillotine glass prices should not be evaluated only by square metre. Width, height, number of panels, glass thickness, aluminium system, motor and automation, colour, installation surface, electrical infrastructure and project-specific requirements all affect the final cost.
Before choosing a guillotine glass system, the motorized operation, lower-panel configuration, glass specification, maintenance requirements and total project cost should be considered together.
Motorized guillotine glass systems operate with an electric motor and control unit and can be controlled by remote control or compatible automation.
Depending on the design and safety requirements, the lower panel can be positioned at balustrade height. The final configuration should be determined from project dimensions and technical requirements.
Yes. Vertical movement enables open and enclosed use without significantly affecting the furniture layout or the space in front of the façade, making it popular in commercial outdoor areas.
An accurate quotation can be prepared after width, height, number of panels, glass type, motor option and installation conditions have been defined.
Not every opening requires the same glass system. Compare guillotine glass with sliding, folding and windbreak systems according to movement type, usage and architectural requirements.

Guillotine glass aluminium profiles can be powder-coated in RAL colours to coordinate with existing façades, pergolas, winter garden structures and window frames. Colour selection is an important architectural detail as well as a decorative choice.
