TAKE A GLANCE TO GHOST RAILINGS
- When a problem occurs with the glass, without disassembling all the system, problematic parts can easily be changed thanks to modular side rails
- Ghost Railings and Ghost Railings Thermal are fulfilling customer’s needs with ultimate design and perfect combination
- Nail glass profiles with brush seals perfectly insulate the air and prevent air leakage and whistling sounds due to strong winds
- Thanks to balance weights which is connected with chains, provide stability and smooth run while the system works
- Inside of upper box, there is a 3,5mm-thick hot melt insulation band that provides 30-35 dB noise reduction while the system runs
- Thanks to balloon EPDM cord, hand rail part of the system perfectly touches the upper box when the system is %100 closed
- Hand rails provide an aesthetic view to Ghost Railings and besides all, it is very important in terms of safety feature. It prevents possible finger compaction
- With two different hand rail options, Ghost Railings offers freedom to end user to choose the desired hand rail type flat or curved
- At large frontage projects, without any additional construction, box profiles can be used at connection parts of two Panoramas. Possible box profiles are 2X12 cm, 4X12 cm and 6X12 cm
- With one of these box profiles, it is possible to end Panorama without a wall or a post
- Fixed glass height is adjustable and it can be both equal or higher than the mobile glasses
- There is one additional profile which is inside of the rail to hold mobile glasses on-air.
- Thanks to this feature, at large projects, even though the heights of each module are different, all glasses can be hold at the same height during stationary position
- With adjustable U profile, even if the project ground is not straight, it is possible to troubleshoot this problem up to 2,5 cm while putting wooden wedges under glass to stabilize the ground and then apply silicon fixing to finish installation
- When system’s width is more than 3,75 m at Panorama Thermal, there is one additional profile to prevent possible shaking and increasing stamina of fixed glass. With completion of installation, this additional profile needs to be applied to the top of the fixed part of the system
- This additional profile is designed to match with hand rail part and it presents perfect combination
- SOMFY is the best product for Panorama with proven quality and awareness all over the world
- 3 different remote control options are available as Telis 1 –5 –16. Over remote control, all defined systems can be controlled simultaneously or individually
- At big projects, it is possible to integrate the receiver of SOMFY to Panorama to control modules over Smart phones or Tablets. Application can be downloaded over App Store or Play Store on Apple and Android devices
- Tahoma gives freedom to end user by letting the user to create different scenarios or access the system and control it even if the user is not around the product
- It is possible to apply all kind of RAL, anodized and wood cover surfaces. RAL colors are standard. Anodized and wood cover surfaces will be calculated separately
- There are various glass color options in addition to standard 8 mm transparent tempered glass as Blue, Green, Opac, Bronze and Clear. Options will be calculated separately
- Thanks to exclusive adhesive which is particularly developed for Panorama, perfect adhesion is ensured at fixing glass with aluminum profile. Adhesive is not very rigid nor soft that it is very tolerant against extreme weather conditions and possible hits

Safety Brake (optional)
The safety brake has a double function:
- Support of the Ghost Railings shaft
- Blocking of the Ghost Railings in case of a Ghost Railings suspension component failure.
In case of release of the safety brake, a safety device cuts automatically the electric power of the motor, avoiding so supplementary damages on the system and the motorization.

Cords and Isolation
- Bolstering: Cord, produced of EPDM, reduces air, noise and dust-proof. It provides perfect touch with arm rest part during close position of system
- Isolation: Cord, produced of EPDM, isresistance to air conditions and isolates air, water and noise.
- Sound insulation: Self adhesive 3,5mm thick PNB 5 band reduces the voice, caused by engine in the upper box, 32decibels according to STC norms. Perceivable noise while system running is around 35–40Decibels.
- Thermal insulation: Inaddition to 5mm+11mm+5mm tempered thermal insulated glass, thermal barrier, placed in upper box and side profiles, reduces the heat transfer from outside for heat insulated system.
