Kaunas

Why Kaunas custom projects need specialized glass

Kaunas custom glass demand grows with renovation activity — heritage Žaliakalnis homes need glass canopies that respect original architecture, modern Akropolis-area developments want statement structural glass features, restaurant/cafe renovations in Old Town need unique display systems. Each requires custom engineering plus aesthetic sensitivity. Our advantage: faster engineering response (48-hour concept feedback), in-house EN 16612/16613 calculations, direct Kaunas architect relationships.

— FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you work directly with Kaunas architects?

Yes — preferred working method. Architect-led projects move faster (clear specifications, drawings ready). We have direct relationships with several Kaunas firms (FFAB, Studio Alma, IDEA, others). Provide engineering review of architect's vision, suggest material/structural alternatives, handle fabrication/installation logistics. Direct architect contact eliminates information loss.

How do you handle Kaunas city heritage permits?

For heritage zone work (Old Town, Žaliakalnis core) we prepare full documentation, submit to Kaunas city architecture department, follow up through approval (typical 4-8 weeks for heritage). Interior work in heritage zones — no permits needed. We have 12+ years experience navigating Lithuanian heritage office workflows. Cost included in project for full installation contracts.

Can you handle large-format glass for Kaunas commercial projects?

Yes — partner with European producers (Saint-Gobain, Pilkington, Guardian) for large-format up to 5×3m single panel. Kaunas commercial installation requires coordination — typically crane lifting (€500-2 000/day), street closure permit (€200-500 from Kaunas city). We coordinate all logistics.

What about curved or bent glass for Kaunas heritage projects?

Curved glass available — produced at European partner facility (Saint-Gobain Sekurit), 4-6 week lead time. Minimum radius 600mm. Curved glass works beautifully in Kaunas heritage adaptations — modern element complementing restored period architecture. Cost: 50-80% premium over flat tempered.

Do you offer maintenance for outdoor custom glass in Kaunas?

Yes — annual maintenance contract (€200-800/year depending on size). Includes structural inspection, hardware tightening, sealant check, glass cleaning per manufacturer specs, written annual report. Critical for outdoor structural glass (Žaliakalnis/Pavilnys hilly locations exposed to weather). Kaunas-specific scheduling — we visit during good weather windows.

— Neighbourhoods

Working across all of Kaunas

We measure, manufacture and install glass partitions, doors, shower enclosures and railings in every district of the city — same-day measurement appointments available within Kaunas.

Each Vilnius district has its own typical project mix — Soviet-era apartments (Šnipiškės, Karoliniškės) more often need partition retrofits, while newer Pilaitė or Naujamiestis builds frequently get walk-in showers and frameless office partitions.
