restaurant hirschgulden:
added flexibility with glass door fittings
the sophisticated interior design and the generous use of glass creates a bright and friendly atmosphere at "zum hirschgulden" restaurant in the balingen community hall. glass is used both for the building facade and for the building interior. a double-leaf glass sliding door (1.85 m x 2.7 m per leaf) separates the restaurant from an event area and integrates seamlessly and harmoniously into the room design. one reason for this is the door's particularly minimalistic glass door fitting: astec b.1000. this fitting is designed to be noticed at second glance. the glazing is supported by nearly invisible rollers inside a guideway measuring a mere 6 mm. at nearly 150 kilo each, the two door leaves appear to be nearly weightless as they glide across the floor. the two-track floor installation kit for the fitting was used so that both doors can be stored side-by-side in a plasterboard wall. thanks to a handle with driver function, both doors can be moved simultaneously. glass door fitting b.1000 is suitable for glazing without frame or other fittings.
