About the object

The project itself is already spectacular, the top floor of course anyway. On behalf of our German partner, the façade of the top floor was designed in a prime location on a new building with a view of the Bosporus and the city. Baier GmbH was commissioned to build the extremely large openings with vertical sliding windows. Exclusive residential location with an exclusive view, only possible with the appropriate windows.

View of the Bosphorus – Istanbul from its most beautiful side

Sliding windows that can be opened to a height of 3.50 m and allow a total view at a height of 7 m. At dizzying heights, the challenges faced by Baier GmbH had to be overcome: “We not only manufactured the elements but also supported the assembly on site and commissioned the windows,” says Klaus Braxmeier, the project manager at Baier. To have been involved in such a project naturally makes all those involved proud. It’s good when it also works safely and is implemented cleanly. With the standardised vertical sliding windows from Baier, the right partner with a lot of experience was chosen.

Transport, weight and height – Baier makes it possible

The approx. 15 m wide window front, divided into 5 large windows and 2 small windows at the sides, clearly enhances an object of this class: Each of the large individual windows is 3 m wide with a sash height of 3.5 m. This means that the total height of the window front is 7 m. The sash weight is approx. 500 kg. This means that the total weight of the windows, including the counterweights, is no less than 1.5 tonnes.

Glazed on site

The supports (steel reinforcement profiles) between the individual elements serve as static stiffening against wind pressure. The deflection of the roof is absorbed by a sliding or floating bearing so that there is no compression of the elements.
The individual parts of the glass front, which were manufactured in Germany (Renchen-Ulm), were transported to their destination in Istanbul on a truck in a “matching” wooden crate. The glazing was done on site. With a building height of approx. 100 m, a huge truck-mounted crane was needed to finally transport the large individual parts to their place on the roof of the building.

The effort was worth it. Istanbul from its most beautiful side!
