Introducing VS1-g, a glass fin curtain wall system

Innovation Glass LLC is pleased to announce the development of VS1-g (patented), which offers the option of a tempered glass fin in lieu of the standard extruded VS1 blade mullion. A high level of facade transparency is achieved. The VS1 system goals of simplicity, minimal metal, no horizontals, and clear daylight openings are taken to a new level.

VS1-G KEY ATTRIBUTES

  • No drilled hole required in face glass

  • Standard through-the-joint VS1 fittings

  • Toggle fittings possible (flush exterior)

  • Direct glaze option (eliminates fittings) 

VS1-g is a natural evolution of the original patented system, and provides excellent value to the marketplace for highly transparent facades by eliminating the drilled holes in the face glass. This significantly reduces the cost of glass fin walls, especially when using insulating glass. Any domestic supplier can provide the face glass.
