Which public or commercial structures most frequently adopt structural glass walls for open-view façades?

Public and commercial structures that require expansive, unobstructed views—airport terminals, cultural centers, civic halls, exhibition pavilions, and premium retail atria—frequently adopt structural glass walls. These projects prioritize open visual continuity, natural daylight, and a strong connection between interior activity and the urban context.

Typical client concerns are structural redundancy, safety under impact or blast scenarios, and maintenance access for large glazed planes. Structural glass solutions respond via multi-ply laminated glass, engineered point connections, and redundant anchorage systems. For airports and other critical infrastructure in the Gulf and Central Asia, additional requirements such as blast resistance or bird-strike mitigation are sometimes specified.

As a vendor, provide engineering proofs, full-scale mockups, and a maintenance plan that accounts for region-specific issues (sand ingress, thermal movement). Supplying these assurances helps procurement teams and façade engineers choose structural glass for open-view façades with confidence in both performance and longevity.
