REFLECTIONS
This overhead glass installation at Reflections Apartments in Coolangatta on the beautiful Gold Coast delivers both architectural refinement and functional protection, enhancing the building’s coastal aesthetic while providing effective shelter. As an overhead glazing application, the glass awning has been carefully designed to allow maximum natural light penetration while maintaining a sense of openness beneath. Its sleek, transparent form preserves sightlines and complements the surrounding coastal environment, adding a contemporary architectural layer without visually overloading the façade.
The project incorporates a 17.52mm toughened laminated glass panel, specifically selected for overhead glazing where safety, structural performance, and impact resistance are critical. The laminated construction ensures residual integrity in the event of breakage, making it suitable for use above pedestrian areas, while the toughened glass provides additional strength to withstand environmental loads. Manufactured by Polytron Glass and expertly installed by PTG Commercial, the system demonstrates precise detailing and compliance with overhead glazing requirements, delivering a durable, high-quality solution tailored to exposed coastal conditions.
