Motorized Guillotine Glass

Upglass uses motorized glass panels that move vertically to open or enclose the space. Depending on the project configuration, the system can be designed to open upward or downward, allowing you to control how much of the patio remains open while keeping the operation clean and effortless.

Yes. Upglass is designed to give you flexibility rather than permanently enclose the space. When conditions are comfortable, the glass can be opened to create a more open-air environment. When wind or weather changes, the panels can be adjusted or closed to create a more protected and comfortable patio.

Yes. When closed, the glass creates a more sheltered outdoor environment by reducing direct exposure to wind and changing weather conditions. This can make the patio more comfortable and help extend how often you can use the space throughout the year, while still preserving visibility and natural light.

Upglass is designed to provide protection without taking away the visual connection to the outdoors. The large glass surfaces allow natural light and views to remain a major part of the space, helping the patio feel open and connected even when the system is closed.

Yes. Upglass can be integrated with a bioclimatic pergola and combined with other ANKA systems such as Railglass and motorized Zip Blinds. Planning these systems together allows the structure, glass, shading, and lighting to work as one cohesive outdoor living environment.
